Hoskins hopeful for potential October return for Phillies

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Rhys Hoskins leaned on his left crutch as he helped injured teammate Bryce Harper raise the Phillies’ 2022 National League championship banner. “I’m going to do everything in my power to give myself an opportunity that if and when we are playing in late October, I have a chance to contribute to that,” Hoskins said Monday. But right now, it’s about the small wins I have to focus on throughout this rehab.” Hoskins said he found some encouragement that he can make a same-season comeback from teammate Kyle Schwarber. Hoskins stopped himself when talking about his recovery timeline and noted: “I’m going to lean on those people who have the experience with the next seven to nine months — well, six months — what I should expect.” Hoskins said he planned to stick around the team as much as possible while he rehabs.
