FLORIDA’S CLEARWATER (AP) – First baseman Rhys Hoskins of the Philadelphia Phillies tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on Thursday while fielding a grounder in a spring training game. He will require surgery and likely miss a lot of time.
The Phillies remained mum regarding Hoskins’ surgery date or the precise length of time the slugging first baseman would miss.
For the defending National League champs last season, Hoskins hit 30 home runs and had 79 RBIs.
The ball popped out of his glove on Thursday as he was backing up to play a chopper. He soon hit the ground and started clutching his left knee. Before being removed from the field, his teammates surrounded him.

Another setback for the Phillies, who will be without their top pitching prospect Andrew Painter for a few more weeks due to a sprained elbow ligament. And after having Tommy John surgery in November, slugger Bryce Harper won’t likely return until close to the All-Star break.

Nobody is interested in our problems or illnesses, according to Payton. “This is painful. We played poorly.
Neither should you outtrain Nathaniel Hackett.
The winning laugh went to the offensive coordinator for the Jets and Payton’s predecessor in Denver. Wilson had a difficult time adjusting to life in Denver after leaving Seattle, and Hackett was sacked as the team’s head coach after a 4-11 campaign. In order to fix the Broncos and track out the original Wilson, Payton was hired.
When Payton criticized Hackett for his work in Denver, notably the way he treated Wilson during the quarterback’s disastrous 2022 season, at the beginning of training camp, he didn’t do himself any favors.
He referred to Denver’s season under Hackett as one of the worst coaching jobs in NFL history, which has backfired as the Broncos are now the
