The Phillies announced that they have placed outfielder Adolis Garc\u00eda<\/a> on the 60-day injured list with a torn right lat. They recalled outfielder Gabriel Rincones Jr.<\/a> from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take his active roster spot. Outfielder Derek Hill<\/a>, whom the Phillies acquired<\/a> from the White Sox on Thursday, has reported to the club. Steward Berroa<\/a> will go on the paternity list in a corresponding move. They now have an opening on the 40-man roster.<\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda will miss at least the next two months. The former Gold Glove right fielder blew out his shoulder during Wednesday\u2019s game in Toronto. Garc\u00eda caught a fly ball with runners at the corners and one out. He came up throwing<\/a> to try to cut down\u00a0George Springer<\/a> at home plate. Garc\u00eda made an excellent one-hop throw that almost nabbed Springer, but he immediately favored his shoulder and had to come out of the game.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia signed Garc\u00eda to a one-year, $10MM free agent contract last offseason. He\u2019d been non-tendered by the Rangers after a second straight below-average year at the dish. The Phillies needed a right fielder after determining at the beginning of the offseason they were moving on from\u00a0Nick Castellanos<\/a>. Garc\u00eda has provided a significant defensive upgrade but has fallen even further offensively.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old has hit .195\/.270\/.329 across 259 plate appearances, career worst marks in all three slash categories. Things seemed as if they might be clicking just before the injury, as he\u2019d hit three home runs in his last seven games. Garc\u00eda is still capable of putting a charge into one, but his approach has undercut any kind of offensive consistency over the past few seasons. He\u2019s a .220\/.277\/.385 hitter in more than 1400 plate appearances since the start of 2024.<\/p>\n

Even with Garc\u00eda playing strong defense, Philly seemed likely to prioritize right field at the trade deadline. They\u2019ve played well since the managerial change to pull back into Wild Card position. They clearly need outfield help, as they\u2019ve gotten very little out of center or right field this season.<\/p>\n

The Phils traded for Hill during yesterday\u2019s off day. He\u2019s a righty-hitting fourth or fifth outfielder who can platoon with lefty-swinging Brandon Marsh<\/a> or\u00a0Justin Crawford<\/a>. Garc\u00eda\u2019s injury probably increased the front office\u2019s urgency to make a move, but Hill fits a complementary role the Phillies needed either way. He\u2019s not the answer for an everyday right fielder.<\/p>\n

In the short term, Rincones will get his first major league look. The Phillies selected him onto the 40-man roster over the winter to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. He began the season on the minor league injured list and has only appeared in 12 Triple-A games since being activated in late May. Rincones has hit .239 without a home run in 55 plate appearances as part of a slow start to the season.<\/p>\n

A third-round pick out of Florida Atlantic in 2022, Rincones is coming off a .240\/.370\/.430 season with Lehigh Valley last year. He walked at an excellent 15.8% clip, hit 18 homers, and stole 21 bags. Rincones takes a lot of pitches and hits the ball hard. The patient approach leads to a lot of walks but also deep counts and a decent number of strikeouts. He\u2019s listed at 6\u20193\u2033, 225 pounds and isn\u2019t considered a strong corner outfield defender.<\/p>\n

Rincones is in the lineup tonight for the series opener in Milwaukee, playing right field and batting seventh. He\u2019ll get a tough welcome to the big leagues in the form of\u00a0Jacob Misiorowski<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phillies announced that they have placed outfielder Adolis Garc\u00eda on the 60-day injured list with a torn…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":732769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[17854,64,63,354438,591,85],"class_list":["post-732768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-adolis-garcia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-gabriel-rincones","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=732768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/732768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/732769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=732768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=732768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=732768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
