Brewers Get Key Bat Back for NLDS Showdown
30 Sep
Summary
- Andrew Vaughn returns to full team workouts after recovering from the flu.
- Vaughn lost 10 pounds during his illness, impacting his readiness.
- The Brewers' first-round bye provided crucial recovery time for Vaughn.
The Milwaukee Brewers are nearing full strength as they anticipate their National League Division Series. Andrew Vaughn is reportedly a "full go" in team workouts this week, a positive sign after he missed time due to the flu. Vaughn was placed on the Injured List on September 25th, retroactive to September 22nd, after losing 10 pounds from the illness.
Fortunately for Milwaukee, their best-in-baseball regular season record secured them a first-round bye and crucial extra rest days. This break allowed Vaughn sufficient time to recover from his illness, a situation that might have been dire had the team participated in a wild-card series.
The Brewers will host either the San Diego Padres or the Chicago Cubs for Game 1 on October 3rd. The Padres currently lead their series against the Cubs, with one more win securing their advancement to face Milwaukee.
