After Rhys Hoskins tore his ACL in a freak Spring Training injury, all eyes turned to Darick Hall, a part-time player last year who suddenly found himself as the Philadelphia Phillies' full-time starting first baseman.
At least, he was for all of six regular-season games, until suffered an injury of his own – a tear of the UCL in his right thumb that he suffered at Yankee Stadium last week. Hall was quickly put on the injured list, but it was unclear just what the timeline looked like for a return to action. On Wednesday we got a better idea.
Darick Hall injury update
It turns out that Hall's thumb did indeed require surgery, and that surgery will keep him out for a while.
Darick Hall underwent successful right thumb ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with augmentation surgery with Dr. Pedro Beredjiklian in Philadelphia, Pa., this morning. Timetable for return is approximately two months.
