Brewers' Rengifo Shines at First Base, Despite Sluggish Bat

0:00On April 17th, the Milwaukee Brewers are getting hit hard by injuries early this season, missing key bats like Christian Yelick, Andrew Vaughan, and Jackson Churio. That's a ton of production to make up, but the team signed veteran utility guy, Lewis Rengafo, right before opening day, to add some flexibility. On Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays, Rengafo started at first base for the very first time in his entire pro career, including the minors. Brewers media confirmed he had zero innings there before this season. Fans and folks are buzzing about how this shows the team's depth is stretched thin, but Rengafo's versatility covers all infield spots and outfield. Positions 2. His bats cold right now, slashing 125 over 173 over 208 in 14 games, yet he's a career 247. Hitter with 3 RBIs already. They've got backups like Jake Bowers, who pinch hit for him and Gary Sanchez handling first and DH duties. Manager Pat Murphy, last year's National League Manager of the Year, is shuffling the line up smartly to keep them at 9 wins and 8 losses.
