The Phillies promoted infielder Rafael Lantigua from Triple-A to replace injured infielder Edmundo Sosa.

The Philadelphia Phillies promoted infielder Rafael Lantigua, 27, from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to replace Edmundo Sosa, who is on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain. Lantigua, a right-handed hitting utility player from the Dominican Republic, signed as a minor league free agent in December and has spent eight years in the minors, showing strong plate discipline with a 14.3% strikeout rate and a 15.7% walk rate. He is versatile defensively, having played all infield positions except first base. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Phillies designated outfielder Brewer Hicklen for assignment. With key infielders Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, and Sosa all sidelined, Lantigua’s role could be temporary as the Phillies navigate injuries while pursuing postseason goals.
