2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies first baseman Darick Hall is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup in his major league debut on Wednesday against Atlanta Braves right-hander Kyle Wright. The Phillies are in need of another left-handed power bat with Bryce Harper (thumb) out for at least six weeks, and Hall had been one of the best power hitters at the Triple-A level before his call-up on Wednesday. The 26-year-old isn't one of the team's top-30 prospects, per MLB Pipeline, but he was hitting .269/.346/.548 with an .894 OPS, 20 dingers, 67 RBI, 47 runs scored and five stolen bases in 72 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Hall should at least be in the lineup for the Phils against right-handers, and fantasy managers in deep mixed and NL-only leagues in need of power should scoop him up off the waiver wire.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
