MLB: Phillies’ Rhys Hoskins suffers a fractured jaw

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins is likely headed to the disabled list after a further examination Wednesday revealed he has a fractured jaw.

Hoskins was hit in the mouth by his foul ball in the ninth inning Monday while facing Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen. He was removed from the game but examinations, including a concussion test, cleared him to play Tuesday and he delivered a pinch-hit double.

Manager Gabe Kapler said Hoskins returned to Philadelphia to be evaluated by the team’s oral surgeon.
