LOS ANGELES _ Rhys Hoskins, on the penultimate day of the roughest month of his career, learned Wednesday that he is likely headed to the disabled list with a fractured jaw.
Hoskins was cleared to play on Tuesday after being hit Monday night in the mouth by his own foul tip. He hit a pinch-hit double Tuesday night, but a post-game test revealed that he had a fracture. He will meet with a specialist Thursday in Philadelphia before the Phillies ultimately decide to place him on the DL.
Hoskins went just 14-for-87 this month in 100 plate appearances after starting the season with a torrid April. He could miss several weeks if the fracture requires surgery.
