Phillies Place Adolis García on 60-Day IL After Torn Right Lat; Add Derek Hill and Call Up Gabriel Rincones

The injury sidelines García for at least two months, forcing Philadelphia to cobble together a right-field platoon while it weighs further roster moves before the trade deadline.

Overview

  • García suffered the right-shoulder injury while trying to throw out a runner on Wednesday and the Phillies announced on Friday that imaging confirmed a torn right latissimus dorsi that put him on the 60-day injured list.
  • Philadelphia traded for veteran outfielder Derek Hill from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, sending prospects Dylan Campbell and José Colmenares to Chicago and receiving $250,000 in international bonus pool money.
  • The club recalled left-handed hitter Gabriel Rincones Jr. from Triple-A, activated Hill, and designated right-hander Jackson Rutledge for assignment to open the 40-man roster spot.
  • The Phillies plan a Hill–Rincones timeshare in right field with Hill used primarily against left-handed pitchers because of his better numbers versus southpaws, while the team continues to monitor internal options and possible deadline targets.
  • García’s offensive struggles this season (a .195 average and a low OPS) complicate the loss because his elite right-field arm was a key defensive asset, and the club’s thin outfield depth increases the chance of additional moves before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
