The Pirates reassigned Hall to minor-league camp Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old joined Pittsburgh as a non-roster invitee in December and clubbed three homers during spring training, though he also batted just .190. Hall spent last season at the Triple-A level with the Phillies and had an underwhelming .238/.321/.390 slash line with 16 home runs in 114 games.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Wednesday that Hall will get additional reps at first base following the injury to Spencer Horwitz (thumb), Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hall was signed to a minor-league contract with a spring training invite back in December. The 29-year-old has a .700 OPS with 10 home runs over 198 career plate appearances at the major-league level but spent all of 2024 at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies organization. The Pirates' plan is to fill the void left by Horwitz internally, and while Jared Triolo and Billy Cook are probably the favorites to emerge at first base, Hall now has a fighting chance to make the Opening Day roster.

The Pirates signed Hall to a minor-league contract on Dec. 21, MiLB Central reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hall spent the entirety of the 2024 season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies organization, hitting .236/.320/.387 with 16 homers in 114 games. The Pirates don't have much first base depth, so while Hall is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Indianapolis, it's possible he'll eventually get another shot at the major-league level.

The Phillies outrighted Hall to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday after he cleared waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Hall logged 198 plate appearances at the big-league level between the 2022 and 2023 seasons, but he's played exclusively for Lehigh Valley in 2024, slashing .250/.326/.407 with 12 home runs and one stolen base in 350 plate appearances before the Phillies booted him off the 40-man roster Friday. Given that Hall is already 29 years old, is limited to first base defensively and has posted underwhelming numbers at Triple-A this season, it's not particularly surprising that he didn't draw any interest on waivers.

The Phillies designated Hall for assignment Friday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been clear for a while the Hall didn't have much of a future in Philadelphia and he's now off the 40-man roster with the Phillies needing the spot for someone else. The 29-year-old has just a .726 OPS this season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but he's put up some big numbers in the minors in the past, so there could be interest from a team with more of a need at first base or designated hitter.

The Phillies optioned Hall to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Bryce Harper now handling first base and Kyle Schwarber settling in at designated hitter, Hall's future with the Phillies looks cloudy. For now, he'll represent depth at Lehigh Valley.

Hall was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Bryce Harper making his first start at first base Friday and Kyle Schwarber being used at designated hitter, Hall is headed back to the minors. He has just a .437 OPS at the big-league level this season.

Hall is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Hall sat out both ends of a doubleheader last weekend when the Padres brought a pair of lefty starters to the hill, but he had manned first base in both of the Phillies' last two games against right-handed pitchers. However, Hall will find himself on the bench Wednesday versus righty Colin Rea, allowing Edmundo Sosa to crack the lineup at third base while Alec Bohm shifts over to first.

Hall isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against San Diego, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Ryan Weathers will start Game 2 on the mound for San Diego, so the left-handed bat of Hall will stay put in Philly's dugout. Alec Bohm will take over at first base, allowing Edmundo Sosa to start at third and bat seventh.

Hall will sit for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies will rest a handful of lefties against Blake Snell, though the Padres are starting a second southpaw (Ryan Weathers) in the nightcap, so Hall could see himself stuck on the bench all day. Drew Ellis starts at first base in the afternoon game.
