The Philadelphia Phillies have placed outfielder Adolis García on the 60-day injured list due to a torn right lat muscle. This decision coincided with the recall of outfielder Gabriel Rincones Jr. from Triple-A and the addition of Derek Hill, recently acquired from the White Sox. The Phillies, currently in contention for the NL wild card after a strong showing under interim manager Don Mattingly, may seek external outfield help as they prepare for the August 3 trade deadline. The absence of García adds uncertainty to the outfield lineup, which has struggled this season.
