With the regular season coming to a close, there is no return in sight. However, if the Phils do make a deep run again, Hoskins could potentially make an appearance in say, the World Series.</p><p>Hoskins has been taking batting practice this week at Citizens Bank Park and Rob Thomson <a href="https://twitter.com/WIPMorningShow/status/1707026607506968667" rel="noopener">hinted at the possibility</a> of the slugger featuring in some capacity if Philadelphia does get back to the Fall Classic for the second year in a row.</p><p>Via the WIP Morning Show:</p><p>“I think there is (a chance). This guy’s making a lot of progress. Now, he’s gotta go through a lot more testing with the training staff and with the doctors, but he is now hitting on the field. He’s taking 75, 80, 85 swings a day. He ran the bases the other day. He’s really making a lot of progress, and it’s really remarkable to think that we do have a chance to have him back, maybe by the World Series. It’s not out of the question. It would still be ahead of schedule, I would say, but I don’t think it’s out of the question.”</p><p>It really is remarkable, as Thomson said. I mean, Rhys Hoskins injured his knee just over five months ago. That’s a lightning-quick recovery. Like the manager said though, he’s still got some work to do. Regardless, it would be a huge boost for Philadelphia if he is available to even DH or pinch hit in the World Series.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-philadelphia-fans-are-going-to-love-this-mlb-playoffs-stat-after-knocking-off-braves" rel="noopener">The Phillies head into</a> the postseason as the top NL Wild Card seed after clinching on Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Will Phillies’ Rhys Hoskins shock MLB world and return in playoffs?

He walked four batters and notched just five strikeouts while allowing a few well-hit balls into the outfield. But in the end, it didn’t matter, as he outdid his eight-inning Phillies debut with a historic performance.</p><p>The Phillies were elated when Lorenzen capped off his performance by coaxing a flyout from Dominic Smith to seal the deal in the 7-0 win. The celebration on the field poured over to the locker room where his teammates joked with the team’s lead front-office executive for <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/mlb/story/_/id/38164331/phillies-michael-lorenzen-throws-no-hitter-vs-nationals" rel="noopener">acquiring him in a trade</a> ahead of the deadline.</p><p>“Kyle Schwarber, Rhys Hoskins and other Phillies clapped, laughed and yelled ‘great trade’ as Dave Dombrowski, the team’s president of baseball operations, walked through the clubhouse shaking hands,” writes ESPN.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">oh my god …. Lorenzen saying that his dad would tell him "attaboy, go finish it" then Stott IMMEDIATELY yelling "ATTABOY" ……. oh my god man 😭❤️ <a href="https://t.co/rzblUhozjg">https://t.co/rzblUhozjg</a></p><p>— Surfer Bob Facts Hourly (@sergievskies) <a href="https://twitter.com/sergievskies/status/1689448468409118720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 10, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Indeed, Dombrowski looks very smart for acquiring Lorenzen from the Detroit Tigers amid his All-Star season. He eyed a pitcher with experience <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-the-reason-philly-had-michael-lorenzen-identified-all-along-as-trade-candidate-per-dave-dombrowski" rel="noopener">in the starting rotation and bullpen</a> that could bolster the team in the postseason. Lorenzen became his man and traded one of the franchise’s 10 best prospects, 20-year-old infielder Hao-Yu Lee, to land the veteran pitcher that had a 3.58 ERA in 105.2 innings with Detroit this season.</p><p>Trading for a player in the final year of his contract, which Lorenzen is in, can often be risky. But he has already generated great chemistry with catcher J.T. Realmuto and loves the fan base, saying in his postgame interview on NBC Sports Philadelphia that he has never played for a team with a fan base whose admiration is tangible.</p><p>“It was incredible,” Lorenzen said, via ESPN. “Walking out for the seventh, eighth and ninth, man, these fans. I’ve never been part of an organization where fans are a part of the team. And they gave me that boost that I needed…If you are feeling fatigued, you don’t feel it at all in front of these fans.”</p><p>Michael Lorenzen made history not just for himself and the Phillies but also for his high school, keeping alive <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-michael-lorenzens-no-hitter-preserves-perfect-record-walter-johnson" rel="noopener">an incredible streak</a> of pitchers from California’s Fullerton Union High School to make it to the majors and pitch a no-hitter. The legendary Walter Johnson is a part of that piece of history and now, so is the 31-year-old Lorenzen.</p><p>The Phillies may need to rethink their pitching plans for the playoffs with Lorenzen pitching so well. Obviously, he is bound to have a few bad starts before October. But he may be a key piece of their starting rotation in the fall along with Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola. The plan for now is to have a six-man rotation, which is rounded out by Ranger Suarez, Taijuan Walker and Christopher Sanchez. Once the rotation shrinks, the new guy could prove to be too good to be moved to the bullpen.</p><p>On a night where Nick Castellanos went yard twice to reach 200 career home runs and Weston Wilson went deep in his first major-league plate appearance with his family in the building, Michael Lorenzen stole the show. The Phillies, who are 7-3 in their last 10 games, are rolling and establishing their foothold in the National League Wild Card race in sensational fashion.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Hoskins plans on <a href="https://twitter.com/MattGelb/status/1645506660583215104" rel="noopener">being around the team</a> as much as possible while recovering from ACL surgery, according to Matt Gelb.</p><p>“I’ll pour myself into this team just like I always have,” Hoskins said.</p><p>Hoskins’ 2023 season likely ended in a spring training game on March 23. He awkwardly planted his left leg while trying to field a groundball, immediately falling to the ground while clutching his left knee. Hoskins had surgery to repair a torn ACL a week later on Opening Day.</p><p>Since joining <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/phillies-news-kody-clemens-rhys-hoskins-injury-first-base" rel="noopener">the Phillies in 2017, Hoskins</a> has been one of the most important players in Philadelphia.

Having him around in the clubhouse though as an outspoken leader will be a huge boost for the team. The fans hope to see him around too, as evidenced by the standing ovation they gave Hoskins on Sunday as he received his NL championship ring.</p><p>With Hoskins set to become a free agent after the season, it’s possible he has played his last game in a Phillies uniform.

For Phillies fans, they will be ecstatic once Harper can make a return to a Philadelphia squad fumbling out of the gates.</p><p>The Phillies are 1-5 and have struggled on both sides of the diamond. They were able to salvage a game in New York against the Yankees in a three game series, but last year’s NL Champs certainly didn’t expect to start out by losing five of their first six games.</p><p>A big reason the struggles come as such a surprise is the talent in the Phillies batting order even without Harper and Hoskins, especially after bringing in star shortstop Trea Turner this summer. Turner signed a massive 11-year, $300 million contract this offseason to be the man in the middle for years to come in Philadelphia.</p><p>Turner and company surely expected a better start to this year, but seeing Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins on the field before the home opener had to be a boost of motivation for this Phillies squad.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He showed off a bit of his potential during spring training, hitting .319 with three home runs, 10 RBI and two stolen bases.</p><p>Clemens will need to cut down on the strikeouts to succeed at the MLB level. However, after numerous injuries, he now has a major opportunity in front of him. The Phillies will be counting on Clemens to step up in his newfound role.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
