One player fueling the Milwaukee Brewers success this season has been rookie outfielder Isaac Collins. The former minor league Rule-5 selection by the organization was July’s NL Rookie of the month and he was also awarded MLB’s player of the week on August 11, highlighted by a walk-off home run against the New York Mets.
Throughout all the success, Collins has been performing well while preparing for the birth of a child. The time has come for the baby to enter the world, and he will miss the Brewers upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds as a result.
Milwaukee Brewers will be without Isaac Collins over weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds
Per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Collins is expected to miss at least the weekend series in Cincinnati. Collins will depart for Denver for the baby’s anticipated birth. At this time, it is unknown what corresponding roster move will be made.
Pat Murphy said the Brewers will be shorthanded this weekend in Cincinnati. We know Isaac Collins is about to depart for the birth of a baby in Denver, but we don’t know any other pending moves at this particular point in time.
It will be clearer tomorrow, per Murph.

The Brewers and Reds series is a big match up
While most of the focus in the National League Central division this year has been on the Brewers and Chicago Cubs, the Reds quietly bought at the trade deadline and are in contention for the third and final Wild Cards Spot. Currently, Cincinnati sits at 63-58, and are a pair of games out from being a playoff team.
