Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Erick Brito has cut ties with the organization following an injury setback, according to a Forbes report published Friday. The 25-year-old infielder, who played for the Reading Phillies at the Double-A level, appeared in a game at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater, New Jersey, on July 10, 2026, as captured in a photograph by Dan Squicciarini.
Details regarding the specific nature of Brito's injury and the terms of his departure from the Phillies system were not immediately disclosed. Brito had been developing within Philadelphia's minor league pipeline as a shortstop prospect before the injury interrupted his progress.
