Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins tore the ACL in his left knee during a spring training game and will require surgery, the team announced Thursday night.
Hoskins was carted off the field after sustaining the injury during Thursday's exhibition game against the Detroit Tigers in Clearwater, Fla. An MRI revealed the tear in the anterior cruciate ligament and the recommended surgery is an ACL reconstruction, the team said in a statement. Additional details, including the surgery date and surgeon, are to be determined.
Hoskins, 30, was injured while attempting to plant his foot while making a play on a ball as he reached the outfield grass just beyond first base in the top of the second inning. He remained on the ground for several minutes while being tended to by trainers and emergency medical personnel.
Hoskins, who is set to become a free agent as this season, underwent surgery in the offseason to repair the meniscus in his right knee.
He batted .246 with 30 homers and 79 RBIs in 156 games last season for the Phillies. He also played a major role in Philadelphia's run to the World Series by belting six homers -- including four in the National League Championship Series versus the San Diego Padres.
Hoskins is a career .242 hitter with 148 homers and 405 RBIs in 667 career games with Philadelphia.
