• Cristian Pache (right elbow irritation)
• Status: 10-day injured list
• Pache underwent a procedure to remove a screw from his right elbow on July 17.
• The Phillies are pausing Cristian Pache’s rehab assignment. He’ll stay with the Phillies until at least the end of the St. Louis series due to some knee swelling. He is dealing with hip tightness that has turned into knee soreness, according to Thomson. (Last Updated Aug. 25) — Destiny Lugardo

• Rhys Hoskins (torn left ACL)
• Status: 60-day injured list — Likely out for regular season
• The Phillies first baseman underwent successful surgery the morning of Thursday, March 30.
• While Thomson cautioned that he’s “not a doctor,” he did acknowledge that Hoskins is “ahead of where I thought he would be at this time.” Hoskins is doing short sprints and light running. He could “possibly” begin swinging a bat in the next week or 10 days, Thomson added. He’s already doing his throwing program. Thomson estimated that Hoskins would need “two to three weeks of at-bats,” before returning to the Phillies. This isn’t to say he’s close to returning. He’s not. But the possible scenario of Hoskins rejoining the Phillies for a playoff run is at least still in play. (Last Updated on July 26) — Tim Kelly

• Status: Full season MiLB injured list — Likely out until 2025
• Painter underwent successful Tommy John surgery on July 25, which was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The procedure comes with an estimated 15-18 month recovery timeline. (Last Updated July 26) — Tim Kelly
