The Milwaukee Brewers are facing a welcome dilemma: too much talent in the outfield. With the return of top prospect Jackson Chourio from the injured list, one of the team's most productive hitters is suddenly the odd man out.

Chourio, who fractured his left hand during a World Baseball Classic exhibition game while playing for Venezuela, made his comeback Monday. First baseman Andrew Vaughn also returned to the lineup, setting up a logjam that could lead to a trade.

Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller noted that the player most affected is Jake Bauers, who had been seeing regular playing time at first base during Vaughn's absence. "Both Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn just came back from the IL on Monday, and the hope is that Christian Yelich won't be terribly far behind them," Miller wrote. "At that point, Bauers becomes the odd man out, but a respectable left-handed bat to put on the trade block. He has an .872 OPS with five home runs against righties thus far this season."

Bauers has shown solid power since joining the Brewers, hitting 12 home runs over his first two seasons with the NL Central club. His .778 OPS overall makes him a valuable asset, especially against right-handed pitching. The 28-year-old can also play both outfield and first base, giving any contending team a versatile bench option.

Chourio, however, is the kind of generational talent you build around. At just 21 years old, he's already shown he belongs in the big leagues, and the Brewers need him in the lineup every day. That leaves Bauers, despite his strong numbers, as the likely trade chip.

For a team looking to add a left-handed bat with pop and defensive flexibility, Bauers could be a perfect mid-season pickup. A change of scenery might be exactly what he needs to take his game to the next level.
