Hoskins was injured last season in a freak play at first when he tried to tag Corey Dickerson of the Marlins. Hoskins missed the last 17 games of the season and there were a lot of questions about if he'd be ready for the regular season, which starts April 1.
"Honestly, I feel normal," Hoskins told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's a good place to be."
A healthy Hoskins will be a big part of the offense that was fifth in the National League in runs last season. A full season of third baseman Alec Bohn should also boost the output.
A number of foreign players are having visa issues, including newly re-signed shortstop Didi Gregorius. When the players do make it to Clearwater, they'll have to quarantine because of COVID protocols.
The first full-squad workouts were held today, and the exhibition season begins on Sunday against the Tigers. I've been looking everywhere for a spring training TV schedule to see which games, if any, will be televised. Seeing Phillies baseball and palm trees would be a welcome sight after three weeks of this god-awful February weather.
