Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins remained a long shot to make the postseason roster as he recovers from a torn ACL in his left knee.
The 30-year-old Hoskins — playing on a $12 million, one-year contract — is the second-longest tenured Phillies player behind Aaron Nola. Hoskins hit 30 homers with 79 RBIs last season. He was injured in late March while fielding a grounder in a spring training game.
Hoskins had a moment forever etched in Philly sports lore when he hit a three-run homer and slammed his bat in celebration in a Game 3 win against Atlanta in the NL Division Series. The moment is captured on a mural on a corridor inside Citizens Bank Park that leads from the clubhouse to the dugout.“He’s in really good spirits,” Thomson said. “He feels good about where he’s at. He ran the bases today. He’s a leader. He’s been a great sounding board for these guys. Great knowledge.
Thomson envisions Kerkering — who went 4-1 with 14 saves and a 1.51 ERA across 49 relief appearances with four different minor league teams this season — as a high-leverage reliever in the postseason. Thomson struck out two with a devastating slider in a shutout inning in his MLB debut Sunday against the New York Mets.
