Rhys Hoskins a 'Long Shot' to Return to Phillies amid Elbow Injury Rehab

Philadelphia Phillies manager Joe Girardi confirmed to reporters Wednesday that first baseman Rhys Hoskins, who injured the UCL in his non-throwing arm on Sept. 12, is a "long shot" to play the rest of the season.

Hoskins was hurt in a collision at first base during the team's 12-6 victory on the road against the Miami Marlins. He did not play the next day, so he could have been activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday to finish out the final four games of the regular season.

Originally, Girardi wasn't ready to count out a return.
