Daily News | Phillies sent Darick Hall to triple-A Lehigh Valley to get him more at-bats
Philadelphia Phillies' Darick Hall bats in the 8th inning against the Washington Nationals, Sunday, Aug. 7, 2022, in Philadelphia.With Bryce Harper expected to rejoin the Phillies soon, and Kyle Schwarber back in left field on Tuesday night, there weren’t many opportunities for designated hitter/first baseman Darick Hall to get regular at-bats. So, the Phillies optioned Hall to triple-A Lehigh Valley and recalled infielder Yairo Muñoz on Monday night.
It’s possible that Hall could be added back to the Phillies’ active roster when rosters expand to 28 players on Sept. 1. Sept. 1 is an off-day for the Phillies, but Thomson said they’ll still have to submit a roster that day. They can add either two position players or one pitcher and one position player.
“When he’s not playing, that gives us another right-handed potential pinch-hitter back on the bench. So a lot of times, we’ve gone with just left-handed bats on the bench and no right-handed hitter. ‘Muny’ just gives us a little more flexibility and it gets Darick playing time and at-bats.”When center fielder Brandon Marsh exited a game against the Reds on Aug. 16, after trying to rob a home run and landing awkwardly on his left leg, he was concerned that his season might be over.
