Rhys Hoskins (torn ACL)
Status: 60-day injured list — Out for 7-9 months
The Phillies first baseman underwent successful surgery the morning of Thursday, March 30. The club officially announced that his recovery timeline is seven to nine months, meaning there is a very small chance that Hoskins could return to the team if the Phillies make another deep postseason run. Hoskins suffered the injury while trying to field a high chopper during a spring training game on March 23. (Last Updated March 30) – Destiny Lugardo

Rafael Marchan (right hamate fracture)
Status: 60-day injured list — Likely to be back in June
Marchan, the Phillies’ third catcher, has not played since March 7. He underwent surgery the week of March 27 to repair the hamate fracture. It was initially thought that Marchan had a bruise, but additional testing revealed a fracture.

Andrew Painter (right UCL sprain)
Status: — Aiming for midsummer return
Dombrowski told Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer that he is hopeful Painter will begin throwing from 30 feet within the first few days of the season. He’ll then progress to 60 feet and then 90 feet if all goes well. Painter reported elbow tenderness after his first and only Grapefruit League outing against the Minnesota Twins on March 1. He does not need to be placed on the major league injured list since he is not on the 40-man roster. (Last Updated March 30) — Destiny Lugardo
