Agrees to minors deal with CLE Hoskins agreed to a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact According to Zack Meisel of The Athletic, the contract will pay Hoskins a base salary of $1.5 million should he make the major-league roster, which seems likely. Hoskins missed extended time last season with a Grade 2 thumb sprain, but he has been above league average by wRC+ every year of his career. He will compete for time at first base and designated hitter with Cleveland.

Joining Cleveland Hoskins was seen in the Guardians' clubhouse Sunday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Impact The move has not been officially announced and thus the details of the contract remain uncertain, though it's presumably a big-league deal. Hoskins already has his own locker and was even in Guardians gear Sunday, per Zack Meisel of The Athletic. Hoskins slashed .237/.332/.416 with 12 homers and 43 RBI in 90 games with Milwaukee last season, leading the Brewers to decline his mutual option for 2026.

Hoskins, Quintana to become free agents after Brewers decline 2026 options

First baseman Rhys Hoskins and left-hander José Quintana are heading to free agency after the Milwaukee Brewers declined their 2026 mutual options

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • Associated Press

Mutual option declined Hoskins became a free agent Tuesday after his $18 million mutual option for 2026 was declined, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact The Brewers will pay Hoskins a $4 million buyout instead. Hoskins slashed .223/.314/.418 with 38 home runs over 845 plate appearances during his two seasons in Milwaukee. With Andrew Vaughn's emergence at first base in 2025 and Christian Yelich serving as the primary designated hitter, there was no room for Hoskins on the roster in 2026. Hoskins will turn 33 in March and is a poor defensive first baseman, so he might face a fairly limited free-agent market this offseason.

Activated from 10-day IL The Brewers activated Hoskins (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Hoskins has missed more than two months of action with a left thumb sprain but is ready to go after slashing .275/.371/.471 with two home runs over 14 rehab games. The 32-year-old is no longer at the top of the Brewers' first-base depth chart following the emergence of Andrew Vaughn, but Hoskins should still see a decent number of starts between first base and designated hitter.

Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers play in game 2 of series

The Texas Rangers lead 1-0 in a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers

SEPTEMBER 9, 2025 • Associated Press

Expected to be activated Tuesday Hoskins (thumb) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hoskins has joined the Brewers in Texas for the start of their three-game set against the Rangers but won't officially be back on the active roster until the second game of the series. The 32-year-old slashed .275/.371/.471 with two home runs over 14 contests on his rehab assignment. Hoskins -- who is coming back from a left thumb sprain -- appears likely to be behind Andrew Vaughn on the Brewers' first-base depth chart, but Christian Yelich's ongoing back issues could create a path to at-bats for Hoskins at designated hitter.
