The Phillies selected Rincones' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Rincones is one of Philadelphia's top prospects, so it's no surprise the organization elected to protect him from being taken during the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. In his first taste of the Triple-A level in 2025, the 24-year-old posted a .242/.366/.430 slash line with 18 homers and 22 steals in 119 games.

Phillies' Gabriel Rincones: Ks in check at Triple-A
Rotowire
Rincones is slashing .293/.333/.569 with three home runs, one steal and a 19 percent strikeout rate through 63 plate appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
The lefty-hitting slugger has by far the best strikeout rate of his career -- his prior career best over a large sample was his 24.8 percent strikeout rate at High-A in 2023. Rincones has always had huge raw power, and he moves well for a likely strong-side platoon corner outfielder, having stolen 23 bases in 68 games a season ago.

Rincones returned to action for Reading after he tore a ligament in his right thumb April 24 and went on the IL a day later. The outfielder was cleared for game action in early July and appeared in eight rehab contests in the rookie-level Florida Complex League before rejoining Reading.

Phillies' Gabriel Rincones: Recovering from thumb injury
Rotowire
Rincones, who is on the 7-day injured list with Double-A Reading, tore a ligament in his right thumb on April 24 and could return in the middle of July, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
A 6-foot-3 lefty slugger, Rincones got off to a great start before the injury, slashing .300/.417/.600 with four home runs, four steals and a 26.7 percent strikeout rate in 60 plate appearances. This injury may prevent Rincones from pushing for a big-league debut in his age-23 season.
