Moisés Chace: Everything you need to know

Chace (elbow) is throwing bullpens and should return in the second half of the 2026 season, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports. Chace needed Tommy John surgery in May 2025 and is progressing in his recovery. Already on the 40-man roster, Chace has logged a 3.47 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB in 36.1 innings across 10 career starts at Double-A.

The Phillies optioned Chace (elbow) to Double-A Reading on Saturday. Chace will miss the first portion of the regular season while finishing up his recovery from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in May. He'll report back to Reading once he's healthy and look to reach Triple-A before the end of the year.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Chace will undergo Tommy John surgery, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Chace made six starts with Double-A Reading this season before blowing out his elbow, collecting a 3.24 ERA and 19:12 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year.
