Medical update on Adolis García https://t.co/8nLXaShlCW

What happened: The Philadelphia Phillies announced a medical update on Adolis Garcia, with reports saying he will miss the remainder of the season after surgery on a torn right lat. Garcia had already been moved to the 60-day injured list as Philadelphia reshapes its outfield depth.

Why it matters: The injury removes a regular outfield option during the MLB regular season and increases pressure on Philadelphia before the trade deadline. It also connects directly to the club's broader outfield search, including prior coverage of how Garcia's injury tightened the market.

By the numbers: Garcia was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right latissimus dorsi tear. Recent reports listed him at .195 with a .599 OPS before the injury.

What to watch: Watch how the Phillies divide right-field at-bats and whether the front office adds another outfielder before the deadline.
