Phillies expect Rhys Hoskins to miss the season; Darick Hall to be primary first baseman

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Phillies 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.

Dombrowksi said Hoskins will get a second opinion soon but emphasized that he would be “shocked” if the first baseman doesn’t get surgery. The Phillies say the recommended surgery is an ACL reconstruction.

Hoskins injured his left knee in a Grapefruit League game against the Tigers on Thursday. He took an awkward step while trying to field a ground ball and fell to the ground. An MRI later revealed an ACL tear.
