Mon Jan 2919:01Rhys Hoskins Says He'll Be Full-Go In Spring Training
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) said he will be full-go in spring training. "I'm pretty bored as a competitor," Hoskins said. The 30-year-old tore his left ACL in spring training with the Philadelphia Phillies last year and missed the entire 2023 campaign. Had the Phillies advanced further in the postseason last fall, Hoskins may have been ready to rejoin their lineup, and he hasn't had any setbacks in the offseason with his knee. He's now on the wrong side of 30, but Hoskins has moved to another hitter-friendly park and will see regular at-bats between first base and designated hitter in Milwaukee. The injury risk is apparent for fantasy managers after Hoskins missed all of last year, but if he's healthy, he should be a solid power contributor at the first-base position. In his 667 career big-league games, Hoskins has cleared the fences 148 times.

Wed Jan 2400:10Brewers, Rhys Hoskins Reportedly Finalizing Two-Year Deal
The Milwaukee Brewers are finalizing a two-year, $34 million deal with free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Tuesday. The Brewers have not confirmed the deal, and another source told MLB.com that the sides were still working on final details. If completed, the Brewers would fill their gap of a power bat at first while providing the 30-year-old a chance to redeem himself, as he missed all of the 2023 season with the Phillies after tearing his left ACL in spring training. Hoskins owns a .242/.353/.492 career slash line and hit 30 home runs in 2022 with the Phillies, so he would fit nicely with the Brewers from a fantasy perspective. The key will be seeing if Hoskins can rebound from his injury and still provide high-end power.

Tue Jan 2314:48Brewers Could Make Upside Play For Rhys Hoskins
Rather than re-signing first baseman Carlos Santana, who turns 38 years old on April 8, the Milwaukee Brewers might be inclined to make an upside play for free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who has a career OPS 25 percent above league average and likely wants to re-establish himself on a short-term "pillow" contract after missing all of the 2023 season due to a torn ACL he suffered in spring training with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Brew Crew are deep enough in outfielders that they might not need a designated hitter, but their group is also extremely inexperienced, so signing someone like Hoskins might be a good idea. The 30-year-old would fit nicely in Milwaukee from a fantasy perspective, but everything will depend on how well he can bounce back from a full year off. In 667 career MLB games, Hoskins has been very productive with 148 home runs.

Tue Dec 5 202315:53Cubs, Rhys Hoskins Remain In Contact On Potential Deal
The Chicago Cubs and free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) remain in contact on a potential free-agent deal this winter, according to sources. The Cubs and Hoskins have discussed both a one-year deal and a multi-year contract. It was a no-brainer for the Philadelphia Phillies to decline a qualifying offer for Hoskins after he missed all of 2023 due to a torn left ACL he suffered in spring training. But the 30-year-old right-handed slugger should be ready for the start of the 2024 campaign and has reached the 30-home run mark in two of his last four full seasons in the league. Hoskins could make for a nice replacement for free-agent outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger if he's completely healthy for next season in Chicago. He could be a great bounce-back candidate, especially in Chicago.

Tue Nov 14 202313:41Cubs Considering Rhys Hoskins
The Chicago Cubs have an opening at first base and need a middle-of-the-order hitter and view free-agent first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) as a good fit for their roster, according to league sources. The Cubs see it as another opportunity to add an impact player with playoff experience without having to go long on a contract. Hoskins tore the ACL in his left knee in spring training and missed all of 2023. The Philadelphia Phillies declined to offer Hoskins a $20.3 million qualifying offer and plan to use Bryce Harper full time at first base moving forward, so he almost certainly won't return to Philly. Hoskins hit 18 home runs in his first 50 games, had 34 homers and 96 RBI in 2018, led the National League in walks in 2019 and hit 57 home runs and drove in 150 over his last two seasons.

Tue Nov 7 202314:57Rhys Hoskins Does Not Receive Qualifying Offer
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) was not tendered a qualifying offer from the club and is set to become a free agent. However, the 30-year-old could return to the club on a lesser deal than the one-year, $20.325 million value of the qualifying offer after he missed the entire 2023 season following an ACL injury suffered in a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers. Complicating matters, however, is whether or not Bryce Harper is able to return to the outfield after he took over at first base following his return from Tommy John surgery in May. Hoskins surely would have received a qualifying offer had he not missed the entire 2023 season, as he hit .246 with 30 home runs and a .794 OPS in the 2022 season while he has clubbed at least 27 home runs in each of the last four non-COVID seasons, including 27 long balls in just 107 games in the 2021 campaign.

Mon Oct 16 202315:43Rhys Hoskins Left Off NLCS Roster
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) was not included on the team's roster for the National League Championship Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, which starts on Monday. Hoskins suffered torn ACL in his left knee in spring training and missed the entire 2023 regular season. However, he's been working out at the team's spring training complex in Florida and could be available to the team if they advance past the D-backs and to the World Series for the second straight season. Even if the 30-year-old is added to the World Series roster if the Phillies advance, he wouldn't be guaranteed a starting role after the extended layoff this year. Heading into free agency this winter, Hoskins should be ready to go for spring training in 2024.

Tue Oct 3 202317:42Rhys Hoskins To Stay Ready In Florida
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) will report to the team's spring training facilities in Clearwater, Fla., on Wednesday to join the team's "stay ready" camp during the postseason. However, if Hoskins is able to return from knee surgery he had before the start of the 2023 regular season, he wouldn't be able to return unless the Phillies return to the World Series. The 30-year-old slugger suffered a torn ACL in his left knee while playing defense in spring training and missed the entire regular season, but he might be able to join the Phillies' postseason roster if they advance to the World Series for the second straight season. Still, even if that were to happen, there's no guarantee Hoskins would actually be ready play after missing the entire regular season.

Tue Sep 26 202321:50Rhys Hoskins Likely Won't Play This Year
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) ran the bases and took batting practice on Tuesday, according to MLB.com, as he continues to rehab from the knee surgery he had to repair a torn ACL he suffered in spring training. However, the 30-year-old is still a long shot to play in the playoffs. The club will miss his bat in October, as Hoskins is a perennial power threat and slashed .246/.332/.462 with 30 bombs in 2022. The former fifth-rounder is a free agent after the season and may not appear in a Phillies uniform again.

Fri Mar 31 202322:32Rhys Hoskins Undergoes Successful Knee Surgery
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) underwent successful knee surgery on Thursday. While everyone already knew he was due to go under the knife, the team provided an update, reporting he's looking at a seven to nine-month recovery time. Unfortunately, that means the 30-year-old won't play this season, so assuming things move in the right direction, he should return next spring. However, Hoskins will be a free agent, meaning it's anyone's guess where he'll be in 2023-24.

Tue Mar 28 202322:14Rhys Hoskins To Have Knee Surgery Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) will undergo left ACL reconstruction surgery on Thursday in Texas, and the procedure will be performed by Dr. Steve Singleton. Hoskins tore his left ACL in a Grapefruit League game last week and will miss the entire 2023 season. It's a tough blow for anyone that already drafted the 30-year-old slugger. He's set to become a free agent this winter. If you have a draft before Opening Day on Thursday, you'll obviously want to avoid him. With Hoskins done, Darick Hall is expected to see most of the playing time at the hot corner for the Phillies in 2023. Hall hits left-handed and could sit against lefty pitchers, with Alec Bohm sliding over to first and either Edmundo Sosa or Josh Harrison playing third those days.

Fri Mar 24 202311:29Rhys Hoskins To Get A Second Opinion
Philadelphia Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said that first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) will get a second opinion on his injured left knee, but it's clear there's a tear in his ACL. The Phillies still expect him to miss the entire 2023 season after his knee gave out on him in a Grapefruit League game on Thursday. It's terrible news for fantasy managers that already drafted Hoskins in 2023. If you have yet to draft, you'll obviously want to avoid the 30-year-old slugger this year. With Hoskins done, Darick Hall is expected to get the majority of playing time at first base for the Phillies, with Jake Cave another potential option at the cold corner for the Phillies.

Thu Mar 23 202319:51Rhys Hoskins Tears ACL
After a scary non-contact injury while fielding a routine ground ball during Thursday's action, the Philadelphia Phillies announced that first-baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) tore his ACL. A subsequent MRI revealed that he had a left knee anterior cruciate ligament tear, which would require an ACL reconstruction. The timetable is unknown as of now, but Hoskins is doubtful to play in 2023. The 30-year-old was having quite a productive spring as displayed by his .355/.474/.806 slash line with four home runs. Hoskins is a premier first baseman in the game and such a devastating injury makes an impact on the entire league. As a replacement, Darick Hall is likely to fill the void at first base for the upcoming season.

Thu Mar 23 202315:19Rhys Hoskins Seen Walking After Knee Injury
Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that he's unsure what first baseman Rhys Hoskins' (knee) injury is yet, but Hoskins was walking around the clubhouse after getting checked out by trainers on Thursday. Hoskins' knee gave out on him in the second inning of the Grapefruit League game on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers, and he had to be carted off the field. While it looked like a pretty bad injury on the field, the fact that he was seen walking around after the game could be good news for his prognosis. Fantasy managers will still want to check back for more updates on his condition and how long he might be out to start the 2023 regular season.

Thu Mar 23 202313:50Rhys Hoskins Suffers Knee Injury Thursday
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee) suffered a bad left knee injury in a Grapefruit League game on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers and needed to be carted off the field. Hoskins was injured in the second inning when his knee gave out on him. It didn't look good, but we'll have more information on his injury when it becomes available. Fantasy managers that already drafted the 30-year-old slugger can do nothing more than hold their breath and hope that this isn't a season-ending injury. At the very least, Hoskins will begin the 2023 regular season on the injured list for the Phillies.

Thu Mar 2 202316:28Rhys Hoskins To Make Spring Debut As DH Friday
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (knee), who has been on a slower progression than usual this spring after having a minor knee procedure in the offseason, will make his Grapefruit League debut as the designated hitter on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Hoskins is then scheduled to make his spring debut at first base this Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 29-year-old slugger is fully expected to be ready by Opening Day. Hoskins had a career-low fly-ball rate in 2022 but still managed 30 home runs, the second-highest mark of his career. He should remain a solid fantasy contributor in one of the best lineups in baseball. RotoBaller has Hoskins ranked as the No. 9 fantasy first baseman.

Sun Feb 26 202321:29Rhys Hoskins Underwent Minor Procedure
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in December, according to manager Rob Thompson. This was a clean-up procedure to take care of the wear-and-tear on his knee from the 2022 season. The 29-year-old has not appeared in any Spring Training contests, but reportedly has been a full participant in camp. The expectation is that Hoskins is going to get into game action when the team returns to Fort Myers. This doesn't sound like something that is going hinder Hoskins performance heading into the 2023 campaign.

Fri Jan 13 202313:46Phillies Settle With Rhys Hoskins Friday
The Philadelphia Phillies and first baseman Rhys Hoskins avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $12 million deal on Friday, according to sources. In an even more formidable Phillies lineup heading into 2023 with the addition of superstar shortstop Trea Turner, Hoskins will be more attractive in fantasy in the heart of Philly's lineup. The 29-year-old finished up his sixth MLB season in 2022 by hitting .246/.332/.462 with a .794 OPS, 30 home runs, 79 RBI, 81 runs scored and two stolen bases in 672 plate appearances and 156 games. Hoskins has hit 27-plus home runs in four of his six seasons and should be money for fantasy managers again in 2023.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins was the fifth man to homer off of Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. Tuesday, putting the team up 7-0 in the fifth inning of an eventual World Series Game 3 victory. Hoskins did not reach base in any of his three other plate appearances. He now has six home runs and a .786 OPS in 56 postseason at-bats. He hasn't hit much, with a .196 batting average, but he's made the hits count as the Phillies are two wins from the championship.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins led the way in Saturday night's 10-6 NLCS Game 4 win, swatting two home runs in a 2-for-4 day at the plate. He drove in four runs. Hoskins has only batted .171 in 41 playoff at-bats, but he's made his hits count with four playoff homers. The San Diego Padres will send Yu Darvish to the mound in Game 5, a tough matchup for the righty-swinging Hoskins.
