2021 Chachi #63

Jorge Bonifacio was a surprise call-up on August 20th, but with the Phillies desparate for any kind of offense they felt it was worth taking a shot on the former Royals and Tigers outfielder.  He began the season with Double-A Reading where he batted .251 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs in 49 games.  A promotion to the IronPigs followed and Bonifacio was batting .321 with three home runs and 13 RBIs when his contract was selected.

Bonifacio hit a career-high 17 home runs and drove in 40 runs with the Royals as a rookie in 2017.  He was suspended for 80 games in 2018 after testing positive for PEDs.
