The Latest Phillies Injury News
Darick Hall (right thumb sprain)
10-day injured list (Out Indefinitely)
Darick Hall is tentatively scheduled to undergo surgery on his injured right thumb on Wednesday. Hall says the rehab is going to be “aggressive” since he will still be able to lift, take ground balls and do other activities during the rehab. He did not offer a timeline, but it sounds like he will be out until May at the very least.
“I think it really depends on how well you do and how you feel,” Hall said on Friday, April 7. “It’s about strength. It’s my bottom hand. It’s my throwing hand, so I’ve got to feel good about it. When they test the grip, it’s gotta be pretty close to where it was to be OK.” (Last Updated April 7) – Destiny Lugardo

Status: 10-day injured list — Aiming for late May return
Bryce Harper took batting practice on the field for the first time off hitting coach Kevin Long on Tuesday afternoon in New York, according to Thomson. He’ll progress to high velocity cage work, batting practice against live pitching and then a minor league rehab assignment. “It’s not hitting that we’re concerned about. It’s sliding and we got to get clearance from the doctor on that first,” Thomson said. He took batting practice again on April 7 (Last Updated April 7) — Destiny Lugardo

Rhys Hoskins (torn ACL)
Status: 60-day injured list — Out for 7-9 months
The Phillies first baseman underwent successful surgery the morning of Thursday, March 30. The club officially announced that his recovery timeline is seven to nine months, meaning there is a very small chance that Hoskins could return to the team if the Phillies make another deep postseason run. Hoskins suffered the injury while trying to field a high chopper during a spring training game on March 23. (Last Updated March 30) – Destiny Lugardo

Marchan, the Phillies’ third catcher, has not played since March 7. He underwent surgery the week of March 27 to repair the hamate fracture.
