CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Guardians have bolstered their lineup with a crucial right-handed bat, signing veteran slugger Rhys Hoskins. This move, confirmed by the team on Monday, adds depth to their roster with Hoskins becoming the fifth right-handed hitter in the mix.
Hoskins, now 32, is gearing up for what could be his ninth season in the majors, bringing a wealth of experience and power to Cleveland. Over his career, which began in 2017, Hoskins has maintained a .238/.344/.475 slash line.
Last season, he showcased his skills with the Milwaukee Brewers, hitting .238 and knocking 12 home runs over 90 games. However, many fans will remember his significant impact during his six seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he played a pivotal role in their 2022 World Series journey.
The Guardians are set to face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday at 3:05 P.M. EST in Goodyear, and the addition of Hoskins could be a game-changer as they look to strengthen their offensive lineup.
