Hall is just 4-for-21 this spring, but three of his hits have left the yard. D.J. Stewart has taken over as the favorite in Pittsburgh to step in Spencer Horwitz’s replacement at first base at the beginning of the season, but Hall still has a shot. The two have essentially the same OPS (.880 for Hall, .878 for Stewart).

Hall provides Pittsburgh with some extra cold corner depth at Triple-A Indianapolis entering next season behind newly acquired starter Spencer Horwitz. The 29-year-old slugger has put up some big-time numbers in the upper minors but hasn’t been able to establish himself at the highest level, getting into 59 contests for the Phillies from 2022-2023. He spent all of last year at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, batting .236/.320/.387 with 16 round-trippers and two steals in 488 plate appearances.

Hall went unclaimed on waivers last week after being designated for assignment and will remain with the Phillies back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley for now. The 29-year-old was unable to break into the majors last year due to a thumb injury that cost him two months while Bryce Harper was also on the shelf, and he hasn’t appeared in the big leagues at all this season.

The 29-year-old slugger has had an underwhelming season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley — hitting .248/.324/.402 with 12 homers, 56 RBI and an 81/33 K/BB ratio over 349 plate appearances. He has had some flashes of success at the big-league level, so there’s a chance that he could pique another team’s interest on waivers.
