Homers again Monday Hiura went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, four RBI and two runs in Monday's 14-4 win over the Cubs.
Impact 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.

Plates three runs in win Hiura went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Rockies.
Impact 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.

Homers in series opener Hiura went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two strikeouts in Friday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Impact 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.

Officially recalled, starting Hiura was recalled by the Brewers on Wednesday.
Impact 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.

Promotion official The Brewers recalled Hiura from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.
Impact Hiura mostly served as a short-side platoon player at first base in his last stint with the big club that ran from late May through early June, going 2-for-29 with 16 strikeouts before he was sent back to the minors. The 24-year-old has resumed raking since returning to Nashville (1.065 OPS, 25.5 percent strikeout rate in 11 games), and the Brewers could envision Hiura taking on a full-time role as he returns to Milwaukee as a replacement for his former platoon mate, Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Hiura will join the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Arizona, batting sixth versus Diamondbacks southpaw Caleb Smith.
JUNE 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Call-up expected Hiura is expected to be called up by the Brewers in the near future, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Hiura was sent down by the Brewers on June 7, and manager Craig Counsell said that he expected the infielder to have a lengthy stint at Triple-A Nashville. However, he performed well in 11 minor-league games and slashed .375/.490/.575 with two home runs, two doubles, seven RBI and six runs while posting a 25.5 percent strikeout rate and 17.6 percent walk rate. While the 24-year-old has struggled in the big leagues this season, he should see ample playing time with Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) sidelined.
