For players on this list, their future continuing in the Brewers' system relies on one of two paths. Milwaukee could add the player to their 40-man roster before the late October deadline to finalize rosters pre Rule 5 draft.
The loss of Rhys Hoskins initiated some shuffling of the Brewers’ position-player mix. Hoskins strained his right hamstring on Monday night, and after he decided against seeking a second opinion, the club placed him on the injured list the following afternoon.
