Darin Ruf

Brewers designated hitter Darin Ruf has been transferred to the 60-day IL as he recovers from a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Ruf was injured on Friday trying to chase down a fly ball in foul territory and ended up fracturing his right patella in his knee. The veteran has struggled between the Giants and Brewers this season, hitting just .224 without a homer alongside a .419 OPS across 57 trips to the plate.

Designated hitter Darin Ruf will make his first start with the Brewers Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Ruf made a pinch-hitting appearance with the Brewers on Monday and now gets a chance to do what he was signed to do: hit left-handed pitching. Ruf will take on Cardinals lefty Jordan Montgomery while he owns a .271 average, .248 isolated power, and an .886 OPS against southpaws in his big-league career.

Darin Ruf has agreed to a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Ruf will join the Brewers and take over for Luke Voit who was placed on the IL. He hit .261/.370/.348 in nine games with the Giants this season.

Darin Ruf is not in the lineup for the San Francisco Giants against the Detroit Tigers Saturday afternoon.

Ruf will receive the afternoon off with recently promoted Matt Beaty occupying the designated hitter spot and batting fifth against Detroit.

Darin Ruf has been promoted from Triple-A Sacramento by the San Francisco Giants ahead of Wednesday night’s contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Ruf will immediately fill the designated hitter role and bat fifth for manager Gabe Kapler against Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw Wednesday night.
