After the injury to Rhys Hoskins, what’s next for the Phillies
It is possible that Darick Hall would be taken as the primary first baseman in the replacement for Rhys Hoskins’. On the right-handed pitching, he is the first choice of Rhys Hoskins.
While if you talk about a player, Darick hall, he played last season very well as a hitter. In his 142 plate appearances, he batted .250 with nine home runs and 16 RBIs. Apart from this, he scored a .319 batting average and five home runs.
At this time, Phillies also thinking about his more options because Hoskin’s injury opens the competition for the bench players. Too many players are available as replacements for Hoskin’s some of them are Kody Clemens, Jake Cave, Scott Kingery and Dalton Guthrie.

Netizens’ reactions to Hoskins’s injury :

It’s ok he will be missed but the last 2 years he has made quite a few errors that hurt some games they should have won. He can be a defensive liability. I cringed especially when in the World Series he should have made some easy outs at first base but didn’t field it too good. Hey it is what it is so move on, and it will be the next man up !!

Last time we will see Rhys in a Phillies jersey. It’s time for Hall to get the starting 1B role. Hope the best for Rhys 🙏

Hall has it covered But left handed pitching move Bohm to first and Sosa to 3rd
