Phillies Promote Gabriel Rincones Jr., Poised for a Large Role?
The Philadelphia Phillies are calling up outfield prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr. to the majors on Friday, according to Milb Central. Rincones gets the nod to the majors with Adolis Garcia (lat) going on the 60-day injured list due to a torn lat muscle. The 25-year-old former third-rounder in 2022 out of Florida Atlantic University was hitting just .215/.344/.291 with a .635 OPS, one homer, nine RBI, 14 runs scored, four stolen bases, 16 walks, and 21 strikeouts in 22 games at Single-A Clearwater, High-A Jersey Shore, and Triple-A Lehigh Valley before his call-up. He got a late start to the 2026 season due to a knee injury. Rincones hit .240/.370/.430 with 18 long balls and 21 stolen bases at Lehigh Valley last year, and he's considered the Phillies' No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. With Garcia out at least two months with a torn lat, Rincones absolutely could see plenty of playing time in Philly's outfield going forward. He is making the start in right field on Friday and is batting seventh in his MLB debut in Milwaukee against the Brewers in a tough matchup against flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski. The 6-foot-3, 225-pounder has enough raw power from the left side of the plate to attract interest from those in deep-mixed leagues.
