Keon Broxton Suffers Fractured Wrist

By Jeff Todd | September 16, 2016 at 3:30pm CDT

Brewers outfielder Keon Broxton will miss the tail end of the season after breaking his wrist today at Wrigley Field, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports on Twitter. Broxton was injured in a collision with the outfield wall.

It’s an unfortunate way to end what has been a promising campaign for the 26-year-old Broxton. Over 242 plate appearances, he owns a .238/.349/.427 batting line with nine home runs and 22 stolen bases. That’s quite a useful output for a player who draws rave reviews for his glovework in center field.

Long an intriguing prospect, Broxton had fallen out of favor as he failed to fully develop on the field despite evident tools and athletic ability. Though he posted solid offensive numbers in the upper minors over 2014-15, Broxton received only a brief MLB call-up with the Pirates — who had picked him up after the Diamondbacks lost patience.

Milwaukee has been rewarded thus far after taking a crack at unlocking Broxton’s talent in the winter swap that sent Jason Rogers to Pittsburgh. Rogers flat-out raked during his time at Triple-A this year, earning a well-deserved promotion. Now, so long as he is able to return to full health over the winter, it seems that Broxton will enter camp as the favorite to serve as the Brewers’ primary center fielder.

    ‘Rogers flat-out raked during his time at Triple-A this year’
    I wouldn’t call a .263/.338/.371 ‘raking’, especially for a first-/third baseman.
    Maybe this sentence should be about Broxton?

    Anyway, another good trade by the Brewers. I can see them overtaking the Cardinals and Pirates in a couple of seasons.

    Love broxton. after the original nerves he has been great. Brinson is going to fall ball I think so he needs a break. I’m also surprised more players don’t get hurt on the brick wall at wrigley. I get nostalgia, but wrigley is s*** hole that needs a severe remodel or just knock it down

      You would think they would want to protect there player by padding the walls. Don’t think some weeds are doing the job very well. They have a lot of money running around out there.

          First off, grow up. What are you, 13 with that user name? Secondly, I’ll be laughing so hard when whoever your team is, doesn’t even make the playoffs. Cubs might win, they might not. In my comment I never said anything about how they’re the best team in baseball. But please, state what team you root for and I’ll explain to you why they’re worse than the Cubs.

          You’re* and how many players fracture anything running into that wall? You do realize players very rarely get hurt because of that wall “with no padding”. You’re a moron.

          I see you still can’t answer my questions. All I asked was for you to provide information about all of these players getting injuries because of the wall. And you failed to do so. Peace out

    Sad to see him end his season this way. But hoping he’ll come back stronger and continue to build upon his second half of the season. I’m predicting a 20/20 season by Broxton next season.
