Philadelphia Phillies Infielder Suffers Season-Ending Injury.
One of the Philadelphia Phillies infielders is now out for the year after suffering an injury.
For the most part, the Philadelphia Phillies have operated with a relatively clean bill of health.
There were some bumps and bruises throughout the long season, namely when Trea Turner was out for an extended period of time, J.T. Realmuto had to get his knee cleaned up with a minor procedure, and with deadline acquisition Austin Hays and Ranger Suarez currently on the injured list, but for the most part, they have stayed healthy.
Unfortunately, that changed for one of the Phillies infielders.
According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Rodolfo Castro will now miss the rest of the year after tearing a ligament in his right thumb this week.
The utilityman was acquired at the trade deadline last season when Philadelphia shipped pitcher Bailey Falter to the Pittsburgh Pirates. While he hasn’t appeared in a single game this year after playing in 14 during 2023, he still held a spot on the 40-man roster
It was unlikely he would have seen the field for Philadelphia this year barring a catastrophic injury to one of their starting or rotational infielders, but there is now less depth available in case something like that were to occur.
