Philadelphia’s baseball team announced Friday that outfielder Adolis Garcia will spend at least 60 days on the injured list after tearing his right latissimus dorsi muscle.
The organization also made several other roster adjustments involving their outfield, bringing up Gabriel Rincones Jr. from their Triple-A affiliate in Lehigh Valley, putting Steward Berroa on the paternity list, and adding Derek Hill to the active roster following his acquisition from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
Garcia sustained the right shoulder injury during the seventh inning of Philadelphia’s 7-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The injury occurred after he caught a fly ball in right field and made a hurried throw toward home plate, trying to get George Springer out as he tagged up from third base. Garcia immediately doubled over in pain, clutching his right shoulder.
Team medical staff examined the 33-year-old player before he left the contest, with Berroa taking his place in the lineup.
Garcia, who joined Philadelphia on a one-year deal worth $10 million during the offseason, has faced challenges at the plate this year, posting a .195 batting average along with seven home runs and 21 RBIs across 67 games.
Throughout his career spanning 833 games with the St. Louis Cardinals (2018), Texas Rangers (2020-25) and Philadelphia, he maintains a .234 batting average with 148 homers and 480 RBIs.
Hill, age 30, recorded a .213 batting average (17-for-80) with four home runs and eight RBIs in 50 games this season for the White Sox, who traded him along with $250,000 in international bonus pool money to Philadelphia in exchange for two minor league players, outfielder Dylan Campbell and infielder Jose Colmenares.
Rincones, 25, posted a .239 batting average in 12 games for Lehigh Valley and a combined .215 average in 22 games across three minor league teams. MLB Pipeline ranks him as the sixth-best prospect in Philadelphia’s farm system.
Berroa, 27, has recorded one hit in seven at-bats over six games this season, his first year with Philadelphia.
