Hoskins had successful surgery to repair his left ACL on Thursday.
The announced recovery time was seven-to-nine months, which all but rules Hoskins out for the entire 2023 campaign. He'll head into the offseason as a free agent.

Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: ACL surgery set for Thursday
Rotowire
Hoskins is scheduled to undergo left ACL reconstruction surgery Thursday.
The procedure will be performed by Dr. Steve Singleton in Fort Worth, Texas. Hoskins blew out his left knee on a non-contact play in the field last Thursday during one of the Phillies' final Grapefruit League games. He can be ruled out for the entire 2023 season, and he is scheduled to become a free agent in November. It's a brutal all-around turn of events for the 30-year-old first baseman and the reigning NL champions.

Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: Lands on 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Hoskins (knee) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Cristian Pache. Hoskins will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a torn ACL in his left knee and will miss the entire 2023 season.
Hoskins will receive a second opinion, but Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Friday that it's pretty clear the first baseman suffered a torn left ACL, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Hoskins suffered the unfortunate injury while trying to chase down a grounder during Thursday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Tigers. Assuming the second opinion confirms the tear as expected, Hoskins will undergo surgery and miss the entire 2023 campaign. He's slated for free agency after the season.
Hoskins' MRI results revealed he tore his left ACL during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against Detroit.
Hoskins will undergo surgery to repair his ACL, and the Phillies will now be without their slugging first baseman for most, if not all, of the 2023 season. Alec Bohm will likely shift over to become Philadelphia's primary first baseman for the year, opening the door for Edmundo Sosa to get most of the reps at third base.

Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: Promising early signs for knee?
Rotowire
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Hoskins (knee) was walking around the clubhouse after being carted off the field Thursday, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It's a promising early sign that Hoskins' left knee injury might not be quite as severe as initially feared, but Thomson also acknowledged that there is no diagnosis yet. The power-hitting first baseman collapsed just beyond first base in the second inning of Thursday afternoon's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers as he tried to make a play on a grounder. He's still being examined by the Phillies' medical staff and will probably undergo a range of imaging tests.

Phillies' Rhys Hoskins: Carted off with knee injury
Rotowire
Hoskins suffered a severe-looking left knee injury during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Hoskins fell awkwardly while trying to make a play on a ball just beyond first base in the top of the second inning. It appeared that his left knee simply gave out on him, per beat writers on the scene in Clearwater, Florida. He was down on the ground for several minutes before leaving on a cart. This could be an absolutely brutal development just one week out from Opening Day.
