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.

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.

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.

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 was a force in the lineup during the regular season, batting .246 and going deep 30 times with 79 RBI, 81 runs and a pair of stolen bases. Depending on how far the Phillies go, the 29-year-old should continue to provide power and will look to do so against Charlie Morton, who allowed 1.47 HR/9 in 2022, in Saturday's Game 4.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (hand) is out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Atlanta Braves. Hoskins was hit on the hand by a pitch on Wednesday, although X-rays thankfully came back negative. He won't start the first game of the series against Atlanta, but there's a chance he'll start at some point this weekend. Hoskins is deserving of being returned to all starting fantasy lineups when he's back in Philly's lineup, as he's clubbed 28 homers and driven in 71 runs in 524 at-bats this year. Alec Bohm will shift to first base and hit second on Friday, while Yairo Munoz is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth against Braves left-hander Max Fried.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (hand) was removed from Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins after he was hit on the right hand by a pitch in the third inning of play. Hoskins has a bruise and is going for X-rays. Fantasy managers and the Phillies can ill-afford a serious injury to Hoskins at this juncture of the season, so they'll be crossing their fingers for his X-rays to come back negative. For now, consider the 29-year-old slugger to be day-to-day. Before leaving the contest, Hoskins was hitless in his only at-bat. Coming into Tuesday's game, Hoskins was slashing .250/.338/.470 with an .809 OPS, 28 home runs, 71 RBI, 75 runs scored and one stolen base in 523 at-bats for the Phils.

Since the All-Star break, he's gone 11-for-32 (.344) with a homer, four RBI and four runs scored in eight games played. Hoskins is certainly heating up and needs to remain in all daily fantasy lineups moving forward.

Philadelphia Phillies' first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a grand slam Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. With the bases loaded, he took Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert deep in the fourth inning for his fifth long ball of the season. The 29-year-old is on an absolute tear, homering in three straight contests. Overall, Hoskins is slashing .222/.309/.444 with five home runs, 16 RBI, and 15 runs scored over 30 games in 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to start Hoskins in all league formats while he's locked in at the plate.

Hoskins is now slashing .232/.368/.393 with one home run, four RBI, and 10 runs scored across 17 games. We have yet to see the power that helped him hit 27 HRs a year ago, but he's still punishing the ball with a 94 MPH average exit velocity. If Hoskins can play more than the 107 games he appeared in last year, the 29-year-old will be a productive bat who can provide fantasy managers with plenty of counting stats from the second spot in the lineup.

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Rhys Hoskins (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. It appears the Phillies are giving Hoskins a rest day, so he should be back in their lineup for their next contest. In the meantime, Johan Camargo will cover first base and bat seventh versus right-hander Max Scherzer. This is not an ideal streaming spot for Camargo, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere. Scherzer is one of the best pitchers in the league, so even great hitters struggle against him.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) is healthy this spring after his 2021 season was cut short by surgery on his abdomen. Hoskins has two homers already this spring as he'll look to improve on his career-best .530 slugging percentage he posted through 107 games in 2021. At 29-years-old, Hoskins is in the prime of his career and should produce solid power numbers for fantasy managers this season as part of a strong Phillies lineup.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) will have season-ending surgery to "repair a tear in his lower abdomen" per a tweet from MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. The Phillies previously placed the first baseman on the 10-day injured list earlier on Thursday. Hoskins was in the midst of a quality season at the plate, hitting .247 with a .334 on-base percentage, 27 home runs, and three stolen bases in 443 plate appearances. Brad Miller is a candidate to see more playing time at first base for Joe Girardi's squad. The 31-year-old is hitting .218 with a .310 on-base percentage, 12 home runs, and three stolen bases in 271 plate appearances this season. However, he's probably only worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues at the moment. If you're looking for a Hoskins replacement who isn't on the Phillies roster, Brandon Belt and Patrick Wisdom are two names to consider.

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday. It was Hoskins' third homer in two starts since returning from the injured list on Sunday. The big first baseman missed some time this season, but when he's healthy Hoskins has been his usual, dependable self in the power department.

He's got good matchups on the horizon as the Diamondbacks will head to Philly for a four-game set over the weekend.

Both home runs were solo shots, and they bring his total on the season to 26.
