Brewers To Reinstate Kolten Wong From Injured List

By Anthony Franco | April 21, 2021 at 7:35pm CDT

The Brewers are planning to activate second baseman Kolten Wong from the injured list before Friday’s series opener against the Cubs, manager Craig Counsell told reporters (including Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). Milwaukee is off tomorrow.

Wong went on the IL with a left oblique strain April 10, but he’ll only miss a few days more than the 10-day minimum. The team more than held their own in his absence, compiling an 8-3 record punctuated by a three-game sweep of the Padres. Still, Wong’s return will be a welcome development for a Milwaukee club that added him in free agency over the winter. He hasn’t hit much over his first seven games as a Brewer, but Wong has a lengthy track record of solid offense and Gold Glove caliber defense at the keystone.

With Wong back manning second base, the Brewers figure to bump Keston Hiura back to first and push Daniel Vogelbach out of the starting lineup. Hiura, though, is off to a dreadful start to the year after struggling in 2020.

    They could try signing his brother Kean, but 2 Wongs don’t make a right.

      Reinstatement/activating is more or less the same

        reinstatement is from a prohibited list or ban.

          Reinstatement is also off the IL.

    I would rather see the crew keep Vogelbach in the starting lineup and give Hiura a chance to rediscover his stroke in Appleton.

      I agree Hiura need to go down rediscover his stroke. He’s been brutal swinging at everything.

    Vogelbach is going Bach to the bench. Hopefully Keston can Huira up and start hitting or I’m going to YELich lol

          I Cain understand a few puns, but so many just feels Wong. I Shaw that people were calling each other Haders, but you guys are better than some easy Burnes.
