Rhys Hoskins hopes he'll be able to return to the Philadelphia Phillies this season if the club makes another lengthy October run.

Hoskins suffered a torn ACL in his left knee this spring.

"I'm going to do everything in my power to give myself an opportunity that if and when we are playing in late October, I have a chance to contribute to that," he said.

The first baseman is playing on a one-year, $12 million contract. He's the second-longest tenured Phillie behind Aaron Nola.

Hoskins had surgery nearly two weeks ago in Texas on the same day the Phillies opened the season against the Rangers.
