The Latest Phillies Injury Updates

Rhys Hoskins (torn left ACL)
Status: 60-day injured list — Likely out for regular season
The Phillies first baseman underwent successful left ACL reconstruction surgery the morning of Thursday, March 30.
In a recent conversation with Phillies Nation on Aug. 25, Hoskins said he was “on track” to push for a return for the playoffs. He is running two out of every three days and hitting off a tee. The real test will come in the next few weeks when the trainers will look to see if Hoskins can change directions on his surgically-repaired knee.
Rob Thomson said on Monday, Sept. 4 that Hoskins is taking “dry swings” (swinging a bat without a ball). When the Phillies get back to Philadelphia, he could resume hitting off a tee or hitting soft toss. The Phillies will start “ramping him up” after that. Hoskins did some agility work before Monday’s series opener against San Diego. “He’s moving around, changing directions, things like that,” Thomson said.
Thomson said there’s still an “outside chance” Hoskins could return to the team if the Phillies make a deep postseason run. “Even then, there’s probably some questions on whether we can get him ready by then,” Thomson said. (Last Updated Sept. 4) — Destiny Lugardo
