PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins remained a long shot to make the postseason roster as he recovers from a torn ACL in his left knee. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that the slugger still is not likely to be get cleared ahead of the World Series, if at all. The World Series starts Oct. 27. Hoskins hit 30 homers with 79 RBIs last season. Great knowledge.”Hoskins' return is no sure thing even if the Phillies make their second straight World Series and Hoskins is somehow cleared to play.
