Adolis García tore his right lat on a throw home against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 10, ultimately bringing his wildly disappointing season to an abrupt end. He finished the year with a .195/.270/.329 slash line and a .599 OPS in 67 games. He hit 7 home runs, had 21 RBIs, 21 runs, and 84 K in just 259 plate appearances, making for a 34.6% strikeout rate. It was the worst season of his career by far:

Adolis signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia in December 2025, and with a six to eight-month recovery timetable, it’s likely he’s played his last game as a Phillie. It’s a bummer of an ending for a player whom the Phillies hoped would be an upgrade at right field over Nick Castellanos, but somehow, shockingly, was not. In García’s absence, the Phillies will rely on the recently called-up Gabriel Rincones Jr. and Derek Hill, which, in my opinion, is not great. 

Here’s hoping Adolis has a speedy and successful recovery, and the Phillies front office can finally figure out a solution in right field.
