Overview
- Adolis García was placed on the 60-day injured list on Friday, June 12, after imaging revealed a torn right latissimus dorsi, and he is expected to miss at least two months.
- Philadelphia traded outfield prospect Dylan Campbell and infielder José Colmenares to the Chicago White Sox for veteran outfielder Derek Hill and $250,000 in international bonus pool money, and the club designated RHP Jackson Rutledge for assignment to open a 40-man spot.
- Derek Hill was activated and has reported to the team, Gabriel Rincones Jr. was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and Steward Berroa was placed on the paternity list as corresponding roster moves.
- The Phillies plan to use Hill and Rincones in a right-field platoon with Hill handling left-handed pitching matchups, a short-term fix driven by thin internal options such as Otto Kemp and Félix Reyes who have struggled at the plate.
- García’s absence removes both a top defensive arm and a right-handed bat, increasing pressure on the club to evaluate the trade market before the August 3 deadline if internal production does not improve.
