Keston Hiura

Keston Hiura designated for assignment

The Milwaukee Brewers have designated infielder Keston Kiura for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Hiura was recently informed he will not make the Brewers Opening Day roster and considering he is out of minor-league options he has been designated for assignment. It's a significant fall from grace for a player that hit .303 with 19 homers, nine steals, and an .838 OPS across 84 games as a 22-year-old rookie in 2019. His bat was still 15% above the league average at the plate in 2022 according to his 115 wRC+, but a massive 41.7% K-rate and .226 average capped his value. Nonetheless, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the 26-year-old latch on with a new club in short order.
