PHILADELPHIA — Rhys Hoskins has been hot at the plate lately. Scorching, actually. Like this boiling-soup summer weather.
And for a few seconds Saturday night, he got hot-tempered, too.
Hoskins hasn’t participated much in Phillies playoff runs the last two years. In 2020, an elbow injury took him off the field in the middle of September. Last year, a torn abdominal muscle sent him to the operating table with 36 games remaining.
