Overview
- The Milwaukee Brewers confirmed that Jake Bauers suffered a fracture to his right big toe after fouling a ball off it, with the team publicly reporting the injury.
- The club ordered additional imaging to determine how long Bauers will be sidelined and has not yet announced a timetable for his return.
- Bauers told reporters that MRI and CT scans suggested the break may not be newly caused by the foul ball and that swelling and pain are the main issues at the moment.
- There has been no immediate roster move and a replacement is unlikely to join the team before the next day because the Brewers are traveling on the West Coast.
- Bauers is having a breakout season with 18 homers, a .856 OPS and 60 RBIs, and his absence will reduce depth at first base and in the outfield while the team adjusts its lineup and roster plans.
