Rhys Hoskins, the first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers on March 23, 2023. He underwent surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee on March 31, 2023, and the estimated timeline for recovery was about seven months. Hoskins missed the entire 2023 season and was not expected to be cleared ahead of the World Series. However, there were reports that he was doing well with his rehab work and taking live at-bats in Clearwater, Florida. Phillies manager Rob Thomson left open the possibility of Hoskins returning during the NLCS, but it was considered a "stretch". As of the latest search results, there is no news of Hoskins returning to play after his injury.
