Rhys Hoskins will make his Phillies debut Thursday night and begin a new era of Philadelphia baseball against the Mets

Aaron Altherr’s extended trip to the disabled list means Rhys Hoskins starts in left field tonight for the Phillies! Seeing Hoskins, Odubel Herrera, and Nick Williams scattered across the park is a sight to behold in Philadelphia as the management has finally decided to bring up the top prospects.

Despite that, catcher Jorge Alfaro sits behind Cameron Rupp to the dismay of many fans across the tri-state area.

Regardless, here’s how to watch Hoskins battle Jacob deGrom Thursday evening.

First Pitch: 7:10 PM ET
