Another major piece of the Phillies offense goes on the disabled list in LA
Rhys Hoskins appears headed to the disabled list after a CAT scan found a fracture in his jaw after fouling off a pitch on Monday for the Phillies. With no replacement in Los Angeles, the Phillies will be one man short after already calling up Mitch Walding to replace Pedro Florimon, who broke his foot on Tuesday.
Walding gets the start at third base to make his major league debut five hours south of where he grew up in California.
