Brewers' Vaughn Out 4-6 Weeks with Hand Injury

It's March 29th.

Welcome to Milwaukee Brewers News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad.

I'm Cory with the story.

Milwaukee Brewers kicked off the season with a blowout win over the Chicago White Sucks,

dropping 14 runs while holding them to just two.

It was a strong start, but first baseman Andrew Vaughn took a hit with a hand injury during

the game.

Right after, the team called up top-catching prospect Jefferson Kiro from the minors since

Vaughn's status looked shaky.

When came the update from a Brewers reporter, Vaughn fractured his left-hammassy bone and

need surgery.

That puts him out for four to six weeks' minimum, but hand injuries like this often drag

on longer.

They sap a player's power, and full strength might take another four to six weeks after

he returns, maybe more.

The Brewers they steady at first base would Jake Bauer stepping up.

He posted a solid 752 OPS last year and even homer'd in the opener with.

Two hits.

Barry Sanchez can back him up there too, keeping things smooth.

Overall, Milwaukee has the depth to whether this without panic, so though he's vaughn

back when he's ready and keep rolling early in the season.
