1 year agoPhiladelphia Phillies first baseman/designated hitter Darick Hall (thumb) is expected to start swinging next week, according to MLB.com. The 27-year-old has been playing catch and continues to work his way back from a torn ligament in his thumb he sustained on April 5. Original reports had Hall out for two months, and nothing seems to have delayed that timeline. Before landing on the shelf, the former 14-round draft pick was hitting .222 with no homers over six games. Hall knows how to handle the bat, as in 2022, he slashed .250/.282/.522 with nine long balls across 42 games, and fantasy managers should expect him to provide more power once he's back on the field.--Spencer Seguin
