The Milwaukee Brewers lost a big-time player on Thursday when Bill Hall went down with a bad ankle sprain. Hall was attempting to bring back a Ryan Doumit home run but came down poorly on his ankle, surely sending him to the disabled list shortly. And for the record, there was no chance that Hall could get that ball as it was well past the fence, making this injury a little tougher to take as it was easily preventable.
Speculation seems to say that Hall will likely be out for at least a month as the sprain is a bad one. Luckily for the Brewers though, the outfield is a deep group in Milwaukee as Geoff Jenkins and Kevin Mench can easily step up and help fill the void, not to mention that Tony Gwynn Jr. is still in Triple-A and could be called up to take the roster spot.
Gwynn was called up early in the season but was sent back down, not due to a lack of production, but rather due to a lack of playing time. This could be the break he needs to prove himself to Ned Yost and Doug Melvin.
