Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins says he expects to miss about six weeks as he recovers from a sprained left thumb. Hoskins said Tuesday he has an ulnar collateral ligament sprain as well as a “little bone bruise.

Rhys Hoskins is expected to miss roughly six weeks with a sprain and bone bruise in his left thumb suffered on Saturday in Miami.

On Saturday, the hope was that Rhys Hoskins would sit for only a few days with a thumb injury. Unfortunately for the Milwaukee Brewers, the first baseman expects to miss much more time. Hoskins, 32, told reporters Tuesday that a recent MRI revealed a UCL left thumb sprain that could keep him off the field for about six weeks.
