Jun 16 2025The Rockies designated Hiura for assignment Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura's playing time had been scarce lately, so it's not a surprise he'll be pushed off the roster to make room for the return of Michael Toglia, who was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. The veteran infielder had a .611 OPS in eight games for the Rockies and will now go through the waivers process.
Jun 15 2025Hiura is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has produced a weak .222/.333/.278 slash line in 21 plate appearances since being promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque on May 31. He'll be on the bench for the third time in the Rockies' last four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers and looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role for the time being.
Jun 14 2025Hiura isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura will get a day off Saturday after getting hit by a pitch twice in Friday's contest. Kyle Farmer will fill in as Colorado's first baseman and bat eighth.
Jun 12 2025Hiura is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura will take a seat for the series finale after starting at first base and going 1-for-5 with an RBI in the Rockies' first two matchups with the Giants. Orlando Arcia will fill in for Hiura at first base Thursday.
Jun 8 2025Hiura is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the second straight game on the bench for Hiura, who has gone 2-for-11 with a double and two runs in five games since being added to the big-league roster last weekend. Kyle Farmer is starting at first base Sunday, with he and Hiura each receiving four starts at the position in Colorado's past eight games.
Jun 4 2025Hiura will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque over the weekend, Hiura is now slated to get his third start in the Rockies' last four games. Hiura has gone 1-for-6 with a double and two runs since joining the Rockies and will likely need to continue hitting to solidify a spot in the everyday lineup.
May 31 2025The Rockies selected Hiura's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura wasn't able to crack the Rockies' Opening Day roster and started the season in Triple-A, where he is slashing .243/.360/.467 with nine home runs and 31 RBI in 200 plate appearances. With Michael Toglia being optioned to Triple-A, Kyle Farmer will likely take over as the Rockies' everyday first baseman while Hiura provides depth at the position.
Jul 23 2024The Angels designated Hiura for assignment Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The return of Luis Rengifo (wrist) from the IL on Tuesday will leave Hiura without a spot on the active roster, and because he has no more options remaining, he will also lose his spot on the 40-man. The 27-year-old has slashed an incredible .360/.429/.853 through 85 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake, though he managed just a .296 OPS in 10 games with the Angels.
Jul 20 2024Hiura will sit Saturday versus the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura will head to the bench after he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's series opener. Luis Guillorme will make his return to the lineup after a two-game absence with back tightness, starting at second base and batting ninth against Oakland.
Jul 5 2024The Angels selected Hiura's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first stint in the big leagues since 2022 for Hiura, who has slashed .270/.346/.536 with 18 home runs at the Triple-A level this season split between the Tigers and Angels organizations. He is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Friday against the Cubs in his Angels debut.
Jun 11 2024Hiura signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was released by Detroit on June 3 after slashing .232/.312/.401 through 199 plate appearances in Triple-A. The 27-year-old hasn't played in the majors since 2022 and will fill in as an organizational depth piece at Triple-A Salt Lake.
Mar 21 2024The Tigers reassigned Hiura to minor-league camp Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura recorded three hits in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game to raise his spring average to .323, but it ultimately wasn't enough to survive the latest round of cuts. Perhaps he can opt out of his minor-league deal and pursue another opportunity, though a bench player with his defensive limitations is tough for any team to carry.
Mar 16 2024Hiura went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays and is now batting .304 this spring with a 1.042 OPS. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has two home runs and nine RBI across 15 spring contests to go along with the strong batting average and OPS, making him a pleasant offensive surprise to this point. The veteran is pushing for an Opening Day utility role, and with his impressive play so far in camp, he's making a compelling case. However, Hiura's fantasy value is limited if he's mostly a bench player this season.
Feb 16 2024Hiura signed a contract with the Tigers on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old will be in camp as a non-roster invitee and earn $2 million if he makes the MLB roster, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Hiura last played in the majors in 2022 and hit 14 homers in 80 games with Milwaukee, but he also had a 41.7 percent strikeout rate and has struggled making consistent contact since making his debut in 2019.
Oct 4 2023Hiura (elbow) elected to become a free agent Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was stellar in Triple-A Nashville this season, slashing .308/.395/.565 with 23 homers and 77 RBI across 367 plate appearances. However, his reputation for struggling in the majors combined with the Brewers' depth at first base kept him from appearing in the big leagues. The 27-year-old will likely now look to latch on with another organization that can offer a clearer path back to the majors.
Sep 8 2023Hiura is currently sidelined at Triple-A Nashville due to right elbow discomfort, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This elbow discomfort has been bothering Hiura for a while, per McCalvy, and the 27-year-old has been sent for imaging scans as the Brewers try to sort out the exact nature of the issue. Hiura has yet to be given a look in the majors this season, and it might not happen at all now, but he boasts a .308/.395/.565 batting line with 23 home runs and 77 RBI through 85 games at the Triple-A level.
Aug 19 2023Hiura went 23-for-69 (.333) with six home runs, three doubles, 22 RBI and a 4:19 BB:K over his last 18 games with Triple-A Nashville. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has spent the entire season at the Triple-A level, but he is doing all he can to earn another trip to the big leagues. The Brewers have been hesitant to call him up because that would require opening a spot on the 40-man roster, but with the end of the campaign drawing closer they may change course at some point.
May 15 2023Hiura was placed on the 7-day injured list with a PCL injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.comreports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has performed well for Triple-A Nashville before the injury with a .331 average, 1.074 OPS and 12 homers in 118 at-bats. The former top prospect will not be able to return to the field until late June at the earliest. Hiura is no longer on the 40-man roster and struggled mightily after showing some success as a rookie, but his strong performance for Nashville as a 26-year-old was encouraging to see prior to the injury.
Jan 13 2023Hiura agreed to a one-year, $2.2 million contract with the Brewers on Friday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Hiura's first year of arbitration eligibility, and he'll receive a nice raise from his pre-arbitration salary over the past few years. The 26-year-old had a .226/.316/.449 slash line with 14 home runs and a 41.7 percent strikeout rate in 80 games last season, and he's likely to open 2023 in a bench role.
Sep 5 2022Hiura is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura had started each of the past six games at either first base or designated hitter, going 6-for-24 with a double, a walk, two runs and an RBI. With an .819 OPS on the campaign, Hiura has played his way into more opportunities, though he's still likely behind Rowdy Tellez and Andrew McCutchen in the pecking order for work at first base and DH, respectively.
Aug 30 2022Hiura went 1-for-3 and hit a game-winning, two-run home run in Monday's 7-5 victory over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers trailed by two runs heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, but they tied the game in that frame and wound up in the win column thanks to Hiura's long ball in the ninth inning. Hiura still isn't playing on an everyday basis, but he started 12 of the Brewers' last 22 games. During that timeframe, he's hit .262 (11-for-42) and has posted six homers, 11 RBI and a 1.017 OPS.
Aug 21 2022Hiura went 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers' DH went hitless in his two at bats against starter Justin Steele but got to the Cubs' bullpen with a solo shot in the seventh to tie the game at 2-2 and a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to push the game to 5-2. The 26-year-old is now slashing a healthy .247/.349/.507 despite his strikeout rate north of 40%. If he can find a way to more regular at bats, he could continue to be a sneaky source of home runs the rest of the way.
Aug 18 2022Hiura went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite not having a full-time role with the Brewers at any point this season and having been optioned to the minors this season, Hiura has been a sneaky source of counting stats with 10 home runs and five steals across 160 plate appearances. After a quality showing at the plate Wednesday while serving as the Brewers' designated hitter, Hiura will stick in the lineup for Thursday's series finale, batting sixth and manning first base.
Aug 7 2022Hiura went 1-for-4 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In his second start since getting called up from Nashville, Hiura launched a 422-foot home run to right field against Hunter Strickland to send the game to extra innings. Hiura has now hit a home run in both starts since his promotion. Despite a 43.5% strikeout rate, the first baseman has been effective when given the opportunity in the big leagues, sporting a 132 wRC+ in 45 games. He could be a difference maker if he can keep the strikeouts in check and starts more regularly.
Aug 6 2022Hiura went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This was Hiura's first start and second game since he was brought up from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. He got the Brewers within a run with his fourth-inning blast, but the Reds pulled away again after that. For the season, Hiura owns a .240/.354/.472 slash line with nine long balls, 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and four stolen bases. The righty hitter owns noticeable reverse splits with a 1.054 OPS against righties versus a .559 OPS versus lefties this year, but he may still have to settle for the short side of a platoon with Rowdy Tellez at first base.
Aug 3 2022The Brewers recalled Hiura from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Hiura will be back to provide the Brewers with another right-handed-hitting option off the bench, he might not be guaranteed a short-side platoon role. Albeit in a limited sample, Hiura has been far more effective against righties (.453 wOBA, 194 wRC+ in 79 plate appearances) than lefties (.238 wOBA, 48 wRC+ in 65 plate appearances) during his time with the big club this season.
Jul 13 2022Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was carving out more consistent playing time for the Brewers recently, drawing starts in five of the last seven games. He went 6-for-16 with a homer, a double, two runs, two RBI and a stolen base during that time but will head to the minors ahead of the All-Star break after right-hander Connor Sadzeck's contract was selected Wednesday.
Jul 12 2022Hiura is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura closed out last week by going 5-for-14 at the dish while making four straight starts -- two in left field and two at designated hitter -- but he'll cede his spot in the lineup to Hunter Renfroe (calf), who is back from a stint on the 10-day injured list. Christian Yelich was scratched from the lineup Tuesday with mid-back tightness, and given his history of back issues, it's possible the Brewers take a cautious approach with him through the All-Star break. If that's the case, Hiura and Jonathan Davis could be the main candidates to get more work in the outfield.
Jul 10 2022Hiura will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura's playing time is on the upswing; he'll make his fourth consecutive start after going 5-for-11 with a home run and a walk in the past three contests. Though he should be a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching for the foreseeable future, Hiura looks like he could see an uptick in opportunities against right-handed pitching in the short term with Andrew McCutchen picking up more time in the outfield of late with Tyrone Taylor (concussion) and Hunter Renfroe (calf) on the injured list.
Jul 6 2022Hiura went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura took Adrian Sampson yard in the fifth inning to account for Milwaukee's only run of the game. Hiura has eight home runs on the season, three of which have come in his last nine games. Despite the hot stretch, he remains a part-time player for the Brewers and is striking out at a 44.7 percent clip across 132 plate appearances on the campaign.
Jul 2 2022Hiura went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs in Friday's victory over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Something about Pirates pitching particularly appeals to Hiura, who has hit 43 home runs in his career and 12 against Pittsburgh. Hiura has filled a part-time role all season and started just seven times over the Brewers' last 23 games, but he has gotten the job done when called upon, posting a .756 OPS over 124 plate appearances.
Jun 18 2022Hiura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The long ball was Hiura's sixth of the season, and it was also his first extra-base hit off a lefty this season. Hiura has some notable reverse splits going at the moment, as the right-handed hitter owns a stellar 1.090 OPS against pitchers who throw with the same hand but just a .411 OPS against southpaws.
May 31 2022Hiura went 0-for-2 with a walk, hit-by-pitch, stolen base and run scored in an 8-7 loss Tuesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura walked and swiped second base in the second inning and was beaned in the sixth and came around to score on a Victor Caratini homer. Since returning from Triple-A, Hiura has reached base safely in each of his eight starts and has compiled a .269/.424/.615 line in those games. Tuesday was his first start at second base since April 30 and could be a sign that Milwaukee will find more playing time for the 25-year-old moving forward.
May 18 2022Hiura went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called up from Triple-A Nashville earlier in the day when Willy Adames (ankle) landed on the injured list, Hiura got to play hero for the Brewers by launching a game-winning homer off Jesse Chavez in the bottom of the 11th inning. Hiura had been on fire at Nashville, going 8-for-19 (.421) in five games with three home runs, and the 25-year-old was able to carry that momentum forward for at least one game with Milwaukee.
May 6 2022Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and three strikeouts Thursday against the Reds, but the long ball wasn't enough to retain his spot on the big-league roster. He has a .688 OPS in 42 plate appearances, but his 47.6 percent strikeout rate remains a significant issue. Hiura should receive more regular playing time down with Nashville.
Apr 21 2022Hiura went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts to start the day, Hiura gave the Brewers a couple of important insurance runs with his first home run of the season in the seventh inning off Pirates reliever Miguel Yajure. Through 21 plates appearances, Hiura is slashing .222/.333/.722 with eight strikeouts and three walks.
Apr 13 2022Hiura will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura will get his third start of the season, with each of those assignments coming against left-handed starting pitchers. He'll be filling in at the keystone Wednesday for the lefty-hitting Kolten Wong, who takes a seat with southpaw John Means on the hill for Baltimore.
Apr 3 2022Hiura went 1-for-3 with a double, a run and a walk in Saturday's spring game against Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura is coming off a couple trying seasons, including a 2021 campaign in which he posted just a .557 OPS over 197 plate appearances and struck out 77 times in 173 at-bats. However, the once-hyped prospect has gotten back on track this spring, going 10-for-25 (.400) with four homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and a 1.500 OPS. Strikeouts remain an issue, as he has fanned in 10 of his 30 PA, and he is slated to open the season in a reserve role. However, Hiura is still just 25 years old, and the door has not been closed on him as of yet.
Mar 13 2022Hiura will begin seeing some time in the outfield this spring, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. "He's got to earn spots right now and so we're looking for ways for him to be more valuable to the roster," manager Craig Counsell said Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura's poor defense at second base and first base made him a potential designated hitter candidate, but the Brewers would likely also want to give Christian Yelich, among others, starts at DH, so it would behoove Hiura to have an avenue into the lineup beyond DH. His sprint speed is roughly league average and his arm is notoriously bad, so it seems unlikely that Hiura will fare much better in the outfield than he did on the right side of the infield.
Oct 2 2021Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was recalled to the big-league club Thursday, so his promotion was short-lived. He started one of two games since and collected one hit and drove in one across four at-bats. The move will end a disappointing campaign for Hiura, as he hit just .168/.256/.301 across 197 plate appearances for Milwaukee and also spent a large portion of his season in Nashville.
Sep 30 2021Hiura was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has been in the minors since mid-August, and he slashed .150/.274/.280 with three home runs, four doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs across 31 games since his demotion. The 25-year-old has hit .166 across 59 major-league appearances this year and should serve as a depth option heading into the final series of the regular season.
Aug 17 2021Hiura was activated from the COVID-19 list at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a frustrating year for Hiura, but he's at least now through his two-week COVID-related absence. There doesn't appear to be a role available for him at the major-league level at the moment, but he'll at least now be able to get back into game action in the minors.
Aug 3 2021Hiura is on the COVID-19 injured list at Triple-A Nashville. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He has not appeared in a game since being optioned to Triple-A on July 30. There was no room for him to get playing time on the big-league roster, particularly after the acquisitions of Rowdy Tellez and Eduardo Escobar, so he shouldn't be expected to return to the majors anytime soon.
Jul 30 2021Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura didn't have an everyday role in the time since his latest call-up in late June and didn't look great at the plate, striking out 39.4 percent of the time while slashing a passable but unexciting .230/.324/.443. The acquisition of Eduardo Escobar means his role was expected to shrink still further down the stretch, so he'll head to the minors in search of regular at-bats. He has very little to prove at the Triple-A level, however, hitting .347/.434/.691 there in 77 career games.
Jul 11 2021Hiura is not in the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old entered Saturday's contest as a pinch hitter but struck out in both of his plate appearances. Rowdy Tellez will start at first base in a rough matchup against righty Luis Castillo.
Jul 10 2021Hiura is not starting Saturday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura is hitting .231 in July after going 1-for-2 with a double and a walk Friday, He gives way to Rowdy Tellez, who will play first base in his second start with the Brewers.
Jul 7 2021Hiura is on the bench for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was pinch hit for after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout against Jacob DeGrom. Hiura is now 4-for-26 with 13 strikeouts in his last eight games. Newly-acquired Rowdy Tellez will start at first base Wednesday night.
Jun 29 2021Hiura went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and two runs in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura took Trevor Megill deep in the eighth inning. At that point in the inning, the Brewers were putting on a show and beating up on Megill, who allowed six runs without recording a single out. The 24-year-old has struggled this season, slashing .160/.243/.320 in 142 plate appearances. However, he was recently called up again due to multiple injuries in Milwaukee's infield, and he's responded with three home runs in his last four games.
Jun 28 2021Hiura went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura got the Brewers on the board in the third with a solo shot to left center for his second home run in four games since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville. The 24-year-old later stepped up to the plate with two men on and delivered with a two-run double to pad their lead at 5-0. It's encouraging to see Hiura making hard contact after he struggled mightily to start the year. Before his most recent call up, he was slashing .130/.217/.222 with a home run, five RBI, nine runs scored, a stolen base and an 8:48 BB:K. He's now hit safely in each of his last three games and has five RBI over that span. Sunday's performance is one Hiura can build on as he continues to find his groove at the plate. He should see regular playing time at first base after Daniel Vogelbach went down with a hamstring strain during the week.
Jun 25 2021Hiura went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two strikeouts in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura put the Brewers on the board with his second home run of the season in the seventh inning Friday, and he drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 11th. The 24-year-old nearly went yard in his return to the major-league lineup Wednesday, and he should have plenty of chances to bounce back from his early struggles in 2021 since Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) is slated to miss approximately six weeks.
Jun 23 2021Hiura was recalled by the Brewers on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura spent just over two weeks with Triple-A Nashville, but he'll return to the big-league club and should serve as the primary first baseman after Daniel Vogelbach suffered a "significant" hamstring strain and was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 24-year-old brought his strikeout rate down to 25.5 percent in his most recent minor-league stint, and he'll attempt to translate his Triple-A success to production at the top level. Hiura will bat sixth and play first base against Arizona on Wednesday.
Jun 8 2021Manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Hiura may be in store for a longer stint at Triple-A Nashville than his previous demotion this season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was optioned to Nashville on Monday after going 2-for-29 with 16 strikeouts for Milwaukee following his three-week stint in the minors. Hiura may not rejoin the Brewers until after the All-Star break, and it wouldn't be surprising to see some tweaks to his swing mechanics given his 39.3 percent strikeout rate.
Jun 7 2021Hiura was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura had been out of the lineup in three of the last four games, and he'll now return to the minors. He appeared in 11 games for the Brewers after he was called back up May 24, but he hit just .069 with a double, a run, two walks and 16 strikeouts during that time. Daniel Vogelbach should continue to serve as the primary first baseman going forward.
Jun 5 2021Hiura isn't starting Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura will be out of the lineup for a third straight game with right-hander Merrill Kelly starting Saturday. Luis Urias will take over at second base and lead off.
Jun 4 2021Hiura is not in the starting lineup Friday against Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite Kolten Wong (oblique) landing on the 10-day injured list earlier Friday, Hiura will remain out of the lineup against right-hander Matt Peacock. Luis Urias will play second base and bat leadoff.
Jun 3 2021Hiura is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura had started at first base in six of the Brewers' last seven games, but that was largely a byproduct of Milwaukee facing a heavy schedule of left-handed starting pitchers. Even with the platoon advantage often being in his favor, Hiura hasn't been able to do much at the plate since returning from Triple-A Nashville on May 24. In his first week and a half back with the big club, Hiura has gone 1-for-23 with 13 strikeouts. He'll likely continue to fill a short-side platoon role with the lefty-hitting Daniel Vogelbach, who gets the nod at first base Thursday.
Jun 1 2021Hiura went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Monday in the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Tigers in 10 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers had hoped that a three-week stint in the minors would help Hiura refine his swing mechanics and regain some confidence at the plate, but the 24-year-old hasn't shown any improvement since his May 24 call-up. Despite benefitting from a slew of matchups versus left-handed pitching, Hiura has mustered only one hit in 19 at-bats with a 2:10 BB:K in his first seven games back with Milwaukee. Until he cuts down on his strikeouts and shows he can hit for power consistently, Hiura may be limited to a short-side platoon role at first base behind Daniel Vogelbach.
May 24 2021Hiura was recalled by the Brewers on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was sent to Triple-A Nashville at the beginning of May, and he slashed .438/.526/.906 with three home runs, seven RBI and two stolen bases in nine minor-league games. He isn't guaranteed an everyday role with the big-league club going forward, as Daniel Vogelbach has posted a .784 OPS since Hiura's demotion. As a result, Hiura could have to settle for the short side of a platoon at first base in the near future.
May 19 2021Hiura is 7-for-20 (.350) with five doubles, two RBI, a steal and a 2:8 BB:K through five games with Triple-A Nashville. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura got some time to tend to personal matters after being sent down by the Brewers early this month, but he joined the team's Triple-A affiliate last week and has been playing regularly since. He is stacking up doubles and hitting far better than he did at the big-league level, but he is still striking out quite a bit, and the Brewers are likely hoping to see some improvement in that area before bringing him back to the big-league club.
May 3 2021Hiura was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura had lost out on regular playing time recently after he slashed .152/.247/.266 with a home run, five RBI and 32 strikeouts to begin the season. Daniel Vogelbach should see increased playing time at first base, while Billy McKinney could serve in a depth role. Hiura's removal from the major-league roster is part of a shuffle to make room for Christian Yelich (back) and Lorenzo Cain (quadriceps), who were reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.
May 1 2021Hiura will sit for the fourth straight game Saturday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura simply hasn't earned regular at-bats this season. His .167/.268/292 line wouldn't be close to good enough for a middle infielder, and it looks even worse now that he's primarily a first baseman. Daniel Vogelbach will make his fourth straight start at the position, though he's hitting just .184/.273/.327 himself.
Apr 30 2021Hiura will not start Friday against Los Angeles, Craig Coshun of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This will be the infielder's third consecutive game out of the lineup. Hiura's average, now .169, has risen slowly since a dreadful start to 2021, but he continues to cede playing time to Daniel Vogelbach at first base.
Apr 29 2021Hiura isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has recorded hits in each of the last three contests, but he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Daniel Vogelbach will take over at first base and bat second.
Apr 28 2021Hiura isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura will get a breather after he went 2-for-11 with a triple, one run and six strikeouts in the last three games. Daniel Vogelbach will take over at first base and bat second.
Apr 25 2021Hiura went 3-for-4 with a double and a run in Saturday's victory over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura had not recorded multiple hits in a game since April 10 and had not recorded three hits in a game since Aug. 19, according to Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but he was able to snap both skids in Saturday's contest. While it has been a rough go of it at the plate for Hiura, the Brewers are giving him ample opportunities to get going, as he started all but three of the club's first 20 games this season.
Apr 21 2021Hiura isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura went just 1-for-11 with a walk and five strikeouts in the last three games. Daniel Vogelbach will take over at first base Wednesday, batting second.
Apr 11 2021Hiura is not in the lineup Sunday at St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer -- his first of the season -- Saturday, but he'll head to the bench for the series finale. Daniel Vogelbach will start at first base and bat second Sunday for the Brewers.
Apr 10 2021Hiura went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Saturday's 9-5 win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old opened the season 0-for-19 with 10 strikeouts through the first five games of the season, but he's 3-for-9 with a home run, a double and two strikeouts across the first two games in St. Louis. Hiura may need to continue to hit well to maintain the starting job at first base following the horrid start.
Apr 8 2021Hiura went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in the 3-1 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura finally recorded his first hit of the season, doubling off Adam Wainwright after starting 0-for-20. His run was the Brewers' lone run Thursday. Hiura has not been seeing the ball well to start the season. He currently holds a 47.8 percent strikeout rate after a 2020 season where he struggled with a 34.6 percent strikeout rate.
Apr 6 2021Hiura will be on the bench Tuesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura's numbers took a nosedive last season following a very promising rookie campaign, and he hasn't done anything to suggest he's climbing out of his downward spiral so far this season. Through four games, he's gone 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts. Tuesday's benching doesn't seem to be anything other than a day off to clear his head, but if he continues to struggle this badly for several more games, his role could certainly be threatened. Daniel Vogelbach will start at first base in his absence.
Mar 24 2021Hiura went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's exhibition game. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura went three weeks without a homer after going yard in the Brewers' spring opener, but he left the park twice Tuesday, and both times to the opposite field. Contact was a major issue for Hiura last year, and that has remained the case this spring, as he has hit just .235 and has struck out 13 times in 34 at-bats. Hiura is set to play first base this season, but in leagues where he remains 2B-eligible, he does offer some of the most upside in the counting-stat categories among players you can slot in at that position.
Mar 1 2021Hiura played first base and went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's spring opener. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura wasted no time socking his first homer of the spring, going deep in first exhibition at-bat. His punchout problems persisted, though, as he was rung up in his next two at-bats. The Brewers will live with Hiura's lack of contact, and he figures to be in the lineup nearly every day. However, the bulk of his starts figure to come at first base and not at the keystone, the position he played in his first two seasons at the big-league level.
Feb 5 2021Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns confirmed Friday that Hiura will be the team's starting first baseman for 2021, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The team officially announced the signing of Kolten Wong on Friday, so it's not much of a surprise to see Stearns also provide the plans for Hiura's shift away from second base. The 24-year-old's defense at the keystone has always been a concern, especially his throwing ability, and the addition of Wong -- a two-time Gold Glove winner -- brings a significant defensive upgrade to the middle infield for Milwaukee. Hiura had a .938 OPS as a rookie in 2019, but he struggled during 2020 with 34.6 percent strikeout rate and a .707 OPS. He should have every opportunity to get back on track in 2021.
Feb 3 2021Hiura will likely serve as the Brewers' primary first baseman in 2021, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura slotted in at second base over most of the past two seasons with the Brewers, but he's expected to shift to first base after the team signed Kolten Wong on Wednesday. Despite his position change, Hiura should maintain a regular spot in Milwaukee's lineup as he attempts to build on his 2020 campaign in which he hit .212/.297/.410 with 13 home runs and 32 RBI. Daniel Vogelbach will likely shift to a reserve role unless the designated hitter returns to the National League in 2021.
Sep 22 2020Hiura is not starting Tuesday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura hits the bench for the first time all season after going 2-for-16 with 10 strikeouts in his last five games. It's been a frustrating sophomore campaign for him overall, as he's hit just .215/.308/.436 after breaking into the league with a .303/.368/.570 line last year. Jace Peterson will get the nod at second base in his absence.
Sep 16 2020Hiura went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during the loss to the Cardinals in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura gave Milwaukee a 2-0 lead with his long ball off Adam Wainwright in the first. The homer was the second baseman's 13th of the season and it brought his RBI count to 32. He will try and make it three games in a row with a homer during the nightcap of the twin bill.
Sep 5 2020Hiura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Saturday against Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura took Aaron Civale deep in the sixth inning to record his 11th home run of the season. He's now homered in three consecutive contests, and has four long balls in his past five starts. After a slow start to the campaign, Hiura is now hitting .238/.323/.483 with 24 runs scored and 25 RBI across 167 plate appearances.
Sep 2 2020Hiura went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura got the Brewers on the board with his blast in the third inning. The second baseman is up to nine homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and three stolen bases through 36 games. Hiura is slashing .229/.306/.436 across 157 plate appearances, hindered by a 33.8 percent strikeout rate.
Aug 31 2020Hiura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in Monday's 6-5 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura took Pirates starter Trevor Williams deep in the fifth inning, ending the latter's appearance. The 24-year-old Hiura has produced solid power (eight homers, .427 slugging percentage) and speed (three stolen bases) this season. He's added 18 RBI and 19 runs scored.
Aug 22 2020Kiura went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk during Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers didn't have much going for them Saturday offensively, but the 24-year-old capitalized with a pair of runners on base during the seventh inning. Hiura has a .240/.306/.470 slash line with seven home runs and 16 RBI, and he also has a 34.2 percent strikeout rate.
Aug 20 2020Hiura went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs and a walk in Wednesday's victory over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The home run came off a position player late in the game, but it counts all the same in the box score and was Hiura's fourth long ball in the last 10 games. Hiura owned a .658 OPS prior to that stretch, but his hot streak has raised that mark over 100 points to .778.
Aug 16 2020Hiura went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura came through with a big home run in the third inning to knot the game at 3-3. It was his fifth home run of the season and pulled him out of a 1-for-20 slump across his previous five contests. Despite a decent homer tally, Hiura has struggled to a .225/.284/.438 line across 88 plate appearances this season.
Aug 10 2020Hiura went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old launched his fourth home run of the season off Sergio Romo in the eighth inning. For the second time this season, Hiura has gone deep in back-to-back games, bringing his OPS up to .833 on the year.
Aug 9 2020Hiura went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura singled in a run during the Brewers' six-run sixth inning, and then went back-to-back with Christian Yelich an inning later. The second baseman raised his OPS more than 100 points with this one performance (from .658 to .764) after chipping in his second stolen base Saturday.
Aug 8 2020Hiura went 0-for-3 with a walk, two strikeouts and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Reds. He also committed two errors. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been a slow start for Hiura in the batting-average department (.213), but at least he's providing a little category juice in fantasy leagues with two homers and two steals through 12 games. He may be due for a day off soon, especially after his pair of errors in the field Saturday (one fielding, one throwing).
Aug 7 2020Hiura went 2-for-6 in Thursday's win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has been one of the few productive bats in the Brewers lineup to start the season, and he is currently riding a two-game hitting streak while reaching base in nine straight contests. He has slashed .278/.357/.472 with three extra-base hits, five RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base during that nine-game stretch.
Jul 28 2020Hiura went 1-for-2 with a home run, three RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura took Derek Holland yard in the sixth inning, homering to one of the deepest parts of PNC Park. It was his first first long ball of the season, though he has now collected at least one hit in three of his last four games.
Jul 22 2020Hiura (arm) is starting at second base and batting third in Wednesday's exhibition game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old was scratched from an intrasquad game with right arm fatigue a week ago, but his presence in Wednesday's lineup indicates it won't impact his availability for Opening Day. Hiura's should remain near the top of the lineup for the Brewers after slashing .303/.368/.570 with 19 home runs and 23 doubles in 84 games as a rookie in 2019.
Jul 19 2020Hiura (arm) is expected to play defense in Monday's intrasquad game, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old has been dealing with right arm fatigue over the past few days, but he's serving as the designated hitter in Sunday's intrasquad action. Hiura should be in the lineup for the start of the season, whether he's the DH or starting at second base.
Jul 17 2020Hiura (arm) could participate in Sunday's intrasquad game, will reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old remains out of Friday's action and the Brewers won't have an intrasquad game Saturday. GM David Stearns said the team isn't "particularly concerned" about Hiura's sore throwing arm, and a return to the field Sunday could go a long way toward cementing his status for Opening Day.
Jul 16 2020General manager David Stearns said the Brewers "are not particularly concerned" about Hiura's sore throwing arm, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Stearns added that the arm issue does not appear to be related to the elbow ligament injury Hiura dealt with in college, which is good news. The 23-year-old is expected to take a few days off from throwing before being re-evaluated.
Jul 15 2020Hiura was scratched from Wednesday's intrasquad game with right arm fatigue, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear when the issue first surfaced for the 23-year-old, but he won't be taking part in Wednesday's intrasquad action. Per McCalvy, GM David Stearns said Hiura's absence was precautionary and more information is expected on his status Thursday.
Mar 7 2020Hiura hit his third home run of the exhibition season in Friday's spring game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has picked up right where he left off last season, going 6-for-16 (.375) with three homers, a double, and five RBI over seven games this spring. He has struck out just four times in 17 plate appearances, which -- albeit over a small sample size -- is a lower rate than the 30.7 percent of the time he was punched out in his first big-league campaign. Cutting the strikeouts will be key for Hiura moving forward, and if he is able to do so he could become an even more dangerous hitter than he already is.
Feb 28 2020Hiura went 2-for-3 and hit a two-run home run in Friday's spring game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was hitless over his first two appearances this spring, but he notched a couple base hits Friday, including a deep shot to center field. He will start at second base on Opening Day and will regularly occupy a prime spot in the Brewers' batting order.
Sep 25 2019Hiura went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored Thursday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura took Tyler Mahle deep in the second inning to record his 19th home run of the season. He now has three home runs in 10 games since coming off the injured list Sept. 14, also recording at least one hit in eight of those contests. The 23-year-old continues to show plenty of promise at the plate, maintaining a .300/.365/.576 line while also chipping in nine steals across 80 games this season.
Sep 22 2019Hiura (wrist) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura was removed from Saturday's game after being struck by a pitch in his final at-bat, but he appears no worse for the wear Sunday morning. Hiura will start at second base and hit cleanup for the Brewers on Sunday afternoon.
Sep 19 2019Hiura went 1-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Padres starter Dinelson Lamet carved up the Brewers on Wednesday, outside of Hiura's sixth-inning solo shot that brought his team within a run. Hiura has not finished a game since rejoining the lineup a couple days ago, but he still received seven at-bats over the last two games and is 3-of-9 since returning to action Sept. 14 after missing just over two weeks with a hamstring injury. Hiura figures to play regularly the rest of the way, and it should not be much longer before he is ready to play a full nine innings again.
Sep 17 2019Hiura (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting fifth Tuesday against San Diego. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura saw two pinch-hit appearances over the weekend, and he's since been cleared to return to the starting lineup after missing time with a left hamstring injury. He's slashing .302/.370/.571 with 16 homers, 43 RBI and nine stolen bases over 72 games this season.
Sep 16 2019Hiura (hamstring) could be available to enter Monday's contest against the Padres as a defensive replacement if his pregame workout goes as planned, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers are understandably exercising caution with the rookie second baseman, but he could take a big step forward Monday if his pregame work goes well. Skipper Craig Counsell noted that the team will continue to monitor Hiura's hamstring on a daily basis.
Sep 14 2019Hiura (hamstring) is taking part in a full pregame workout Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The second baseman will go through fielding drills and take on-field batting practice, clearing another hurdle on his road back from a left hamstring strain. As McCalvy puts it, the Brewers "want to be super duper extra special sure he doesn't come back too early," so a return to the lineup Monday seems questionable, at best.
Sep 11 2019Hiura (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game and won't return to the lineup until Monday at the earliest, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It sounds like he could get some pinch-hit opportunities in this weekend's series in St. Louis, but won't be able to take the field until the upcoming homestand. With Christian Yelich (fractured kneecap) done for the season, the Brewers will lean on Hiura to help carry the offense as they look to win the second wild-card spot in the National League.
Sep 9 2019Hiura (hamstring) will take batting practice Monday, Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hiura has been out with a hamstring strain since the end of August. His return date remains unclear, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.
Sep 8 2019Hiura (hamstring) took part in light running on the field Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the rookie's first meaningful on-field activity since he strained his hamstring Aug. 30 and landed on the 10-day injured list. Hiura still has a few more hurdles to clear in the recovery process, but he's on pace to return from the IL before the regular season draws to a close.
Aug 31 2019Hiura was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained left hamstring.
Aug 30 2019Hiura (hamstring) will travel back to Milwaukee for further examination, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Jul 16 2018Hiura struck out in both of his plate appearances in Sunday's Futures Game.Hiura went down swinging in the second inning against the Athletics' top pitching prospect, Jesus Luzardo, and was put away on four pitches from the Twins' Lewis Thorpe in the fourth inning. Though he didn't make much of an impression Sunday, the weekend wasn't a total wash for Hiura, who delivered his first four-hit game for Double-A Biloxi on Saturday.
Jul 3 2018Hiura has not played in a game since June 29 as he deals with a left thumb strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.The good news here is the Brewers don't believe the injury to be severe, and don't foresee a stint on the disabled list in Hiura's future. The 21-year-old has showed no signs of slowing down at the plate with a .322/.380/.511 slash line and 11 doubles in 24 games since being promoted to Double-A Biloxi in late May.
Jun 14 2018Hiura went 3-for-4 with a home run, double and a walk Wednesday for Double-A Biloxi in its 6-5 win over Mississippi.Since earning a promotion from the Carolina League at the end of May, Hiura has continued to demonstrate a polished hit tool through his first 12 games with Biloxi. Though his .378/.440/.578 slash line in the Southern League has been propped up by a .432 BABIP, Hiura's quick bat and line-drive tendencies should naturally result in him maintaining gaudy batting averages throughout his time in the minors. Hiura's long-term outlook is somewhat muddled by concerns about his defense at second base, but if he continues to dazzle at the plate in the high minors, the Brewers should be able to find room for him in the lineup somewhere.
