Daily News | Phillies expect Rhys Hoskins to miss the season; Darick Hall to be primary first baseman
first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who was diagnosed with a left ACL tear on Thursday, will likely miss the rest of the season, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski announced on Friday.
“It’s very unfortunate for him, for us, but we really feel for him,” Dombrowski said of Hoskins. “He’s the ultimate gamer. Given everything he’s possibly got, so we feel terrible for him. But it’s a situation we also have to react to ourselves.” “Kevin kept telling me, ‘Dave, he’s getting better and better all of the time. Just watch — he’s closing his holes. He looks really good.’ So, he’s done that for himself. He’s really a good, solid first baseman. He’s a big guy, but he catches the ball. He’s got a good arm — as you know he used to be a pitcher in college. So, he’s really done a lot for himself. He’s also a well-respected person in our organization. And in the clubhouse.
