Brewers' Vaughn Out 4-6 Weeks with Hand Injury

0:00It'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.

1:01Overall, 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.
