Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said Friday that Hoskins (back) has begun a swing progression program, MLB.com reports.

1w agoRotowire

Hoskins still has time to make it back from the injured list before the end of the regular season, though he'll need to take live at-bats in simulated games and/or head out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated. Once he rejoins the Guardians, Hoskins will likely occupy the short side of a platoon at first base with Nathaniel Lowe.

Hoskins (back) is feeling better but has not yet resumed baseball activity, MLB.com reports.

2w agoRotowire

Hoskins landed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 19 with back tightness and is eligible to be activated when ready. Cleveland is getting by at first base with Nathaniel Lowe (against righties) and David Fry (against lefties).

The Guardians placed Hoskins on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to low back inflammation.

Aug 19Rotowire

Hoskins started and played all nine innings in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Giants, but he may have picked up the back injury at some point along the way. The Guardians called up David Fry from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

Aug 9Rotowire

This was Hoskins' first multi-hit effort since July 20 versus the Twins. The first baseman continues to fill a part-time role, now working as a platoon partner with Nathaniel Lowe, who was acquired from Cincinnati at the trade deadline. Hoskins is batting .183 with a .703 OPS, 13 homers, 38 RBI, 33 runs scored, 13 doubles and a stolen base over 304 plate appearances this season. Considering Hoskins hasn't started against a right-hander since July 23, expect him to be platooned heavily for the remainder of the year.
