The Philadelphia Phillies place outfielder Adolis García on the injured list with a right lat (latissimus dorsi) tear and recall prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr. from the minor leagues. One report specifies the team moves García to the 60-day IL, indicating an extended recovery timeline. The injury occurs during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, when García suffers the tear while making a throw to the plate on Wednesday. The Phillies also add Rincones to their active roster to help cover the loss in the outfield.
While the exact day-to-day replacement plan is not fully detailed in the available coverage, one outlet notes the Phillies could use a platoon approach in García’s absence. That same report also mentions Derek Hill as part of the group expected to see time as the team adjusts its lineup. The Phillies have not reported a specific return date in the provided summaries.
