Hoskins exercised his $18 million player option for 2025 on Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. It's possible Hoskins could have netted a multi-year deal on the open market, but it's unlikely he would have been able to top an average annual salary of $18 million. In his first year back from ACL surgery, Hoskins slashed .214/.303/.419with 26 home runs across 131 games for the Brewers. Slated to turn 32 in March, Hoskins should be Milwaukee's primary first baseman again in 2025, with some starts at designated hitter mixed in.

Hoskins is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. Hoskins will rest for the regular-season finale as Jake Bauers starts at first base and bats in the cleanup spot. Barring a pinch-hit appearance Sunday, Hoskins will end the 2024 regular season with a .214/.303/.419 slash line, 26 home runs and 82 RBI across 515 plate appearances.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 8-4 win against the Mets. The 31-year-old opened the game's scoring by slugging a 386-foot grand slam in the opening frame off Sean Manaea. This marks the fifth grand slam of Hoskins' career and third this season. He now sports a .215/.303/.422 slash line with 26 homers, 82 RBI and 58 runs across 513 plate appearances this season.

Hoskins is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Pittsburgh. Hoskins will get a routine day off for the afternoon contest after he had started each of the previous five games. Jake Bauers will cover first base and William Contreras will get a start at designated hitter for the Brewers.

Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three RBI and two runs during Sunday's 10-9 win against Arizona. The first baseman delivered in the clutch Sunday with an RBI double in the seventh and a game-tying, two-run single in the ninth to help Milwaukee erase an eight-run deficit. Hoskins continues to carry a hot bat and has a .321/.406/.607 slash line with two homers over his past nine games, though he also has a 46.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch.
