Phillies’ 1B Rhys Hoskins recently suffered an ACL injury which will most likely leave him out of play for the entire 2023 season.
Rhys followed an increasing number of players who have been devastatingly injured this pre-season.
Mike Cameron's injury is another example of the severity of ACL injuries.
In 2005, he collided with teammate Carlos Beltran while chasing a fly ball.
Bill Mueller's injury occurred during a game in 2005, when he tried to avoid a collision with teammate David Ortiz.
He suffered a torn ACL that ended his season and ultimately forced him to retire the following year.
Troy Tulowitzki is another notable player who suffered a torn ACL.
In 2017, while playing for the Toronto Blue Jays, he suffered the injury while trying to run out a ground ball.
Yankees’ legend Mariano Rivera's injury occurred in 2012 when he was shagging fly balls during batting practice
