Felix

Reyes

Reyes was hitting .158/.158/.263 in 38 plate appearances with a 9/0 K/BB ratio while playing mainly against left-handed pitching. The 25-year-old will head back down to Triple-A, where he will likely play full-time.

Adolis García is shifting over to center field with Felix Reyes and Garrett Stubbs in the corners. Crawford is presumably day-to-day heading into Sunday’s series finale. The 22-year-old rookie is hitting .269/.340/.376 with eight runs scored, zero homers, six RBI and two steals in 28 games.

Marsh grabs a seat on the bench for some extra rest following an early exit from Friday’s series opener with a right elbow contusion. The 28-year-old suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch, but X-rays came back negative for any fractures. He should be ready to get back in the lineup once the pain and any swelling subsides. It’ll be rookie Felix Reyes taking over in left field in his absence.

Felix Reyes, who has now hit cleanup three days in a row, is getting a start while García rests. Garcia has been a disappointment thus far, with a negative baseball-reference WAR as he hits .212/.299/.329 with two homers and one steal in his first 24 games. Reyes is at .273/.273/.545 in his first 11 plate appearances as a professional.

Reyes has gone 1-for-3 with a solo homer off Atlanta ace Chris Sale since being called up over the weekend from Triple-A Lehigh Valley where he was stinging the ball consistently with a 1.000 OPS in 18 games. The unheralded 25-year-old outfielder will be thrown into the fire to face Cubs lefty Shota Imanage on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field with the Phillies continuing to search for answers in the middle of their lineup.

Reyes’s homer was hit 348 feet to the opposite field. He had six homers in 18 games for Triple-A Lehigh Valley before being called up today. The 25-year-old’s outfield defense is a problem and he’s not going to walk at all, but the Phillies really need the offense and will give him some time against lefties for now.

Reyes receives his first promotion to the big leagues after spending six seasons in Philadelphia’s system since 2021. The unheralded 25-year-old has hit .333/.345/.654 with six homers in 18 games at the Triple-A level this year. He’ll likely fill a bench role for the Phillies and is unlikely to play enough to matter in fantasy leagues.

Nori is fresh off a strong World Baseball Classic campaign, where he went 8-for-20 (.400) with two home runs, six RBI, and two steals. The 2024 first-round pick will likely begin the season at Double-A and could push for MLB at-bats in 2027. Reyes could also head to Double-A, but he did get six games at Triple-A last season after slashing .335/.365/.572 with 15 home runs and 13 steals in 95 Double-A games. Maybe the Phillies have seen enough of him at that level.
