On June 1, the Milwaukee Brewers lead the NL Central but struggle with their infield offense. Joey Ortiz, Luis Rengifo, and David Hamilton have been the primary players in the left infield, contributing little offensively. Rengifo has a.520 OPS, Ortiz a.518, and Hamilton a.594, with the team ranking last in the majors in home runs. To bolster their postseason chances, the Brewers may need to seek power hitters before the trade deadline, as their current situation is deemed unsustainable.
