  • PHI Designated Hitter #12

    Schwarber ripped a line-drive into the right-field seats off Marlins starter Tyler Phillips in the fourth inning while making his first appearance at the cold corner since October 20, 2021. Amazingly he didn’t have a single ball hit in his direction during the contest. The 33-year-old power-hitter has just three round-trippers since the calendar flipped to June, but he’s hitting over .300 during that 14-game span. That’ll do.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #44
    Luzardo came back to haunt his former club in this one, falling just shy of his third double-digit strikeout performance of the season. He carried a shutout into the seventh inning before surrendering a two-run homer to speedster Esteury Ruiz. The 28-year-old southpaw remains prone to the occasional meltdown, which makes him a frustrating pitcher to roster for fantasy purposes, but he’s allowed two earned runs or fewer in 10 of his 15 starts this season. He holds a pedestrian 4.20 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 97/27 K/BB ratio across 85 2/3 innings overall. He’ll face the Nationals in a road matchup his next time out on Monday to kick off a two-start week.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #60
    Lazar gets the nod to join Philadelphia’s bullpen mix with setup specialist Brad Keller hitting the shelf with a forearm injury. The 27-year-old will be making his season debut when he gets into a game after making 36 appearances for the Phillies last year, finishing with a serviceable 4.79 ERA across 41 1/3 innings of work.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #40
    Keller’s absence is a significant hit to Philadelphia’s high-leverage mix since he’s served as their primary setup specialist ahead of closer Jhoan Duran. He’s also handled a couple save situations whenever Duran was unavailable for workload reasons. The 30-year-old righty holds a respectable 4.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 31/12 K/BB ratio across 30 1/3 innings in his Phillies debut this season.
  • PHI Designated Hitter #12
    According to The Athletic’s Matt Gelb, Schwarber is making his first appearance at the cold corner since October 20, 2021. It’ll be Brandon Marsh moving up to the leadoff spot with Trea Turner (wrist) out of the lineup after being hit by a pitch during Monday’s series opener. The 33-year-old slugger’s 24 round-trippers are tied with Astros star Yordan Alvarez for the major-league lead this season.
  • PHI Shortstop #7
    With Turner out, Brandon Marsh will hit leadoff, and Edmundo Sosa will play shortstop and hit ninth. Turner is considered day-to-day with a right wrist contusion and already had x-rays return negative, so there’s a good chance he’s back in the lineup in the coming days.
  • PHI Shortstop #7
    It’s a significant relief for the Phillies that Turner didn’t suffer any fractures based on initial imaging when he was hit by a pitch during Monday’s series opener against the Marlins. The 32-year-old has been struggling at the dish of late, but his absence would’ve created some problems for Philadelphia, especially from a defensive standpoint. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into the final two games of the series against Miami.
  • PHI Center Fielder #91
    Crawford matched a season-high with three hits and picked up his ninth stolen base of the season in this one. The 22-year-old former prospect expanded Philadelphia’s early lead by smacking an RBI single into shallow center field against Marlins starter Ryan Gusto in the third inning. His placement near the bottom of Philadelphia’s lineup puts a lid on his realistic fantasy upside, but he has a chance to finish his rookie campaign with roughly 20-25 steals, which probably matters in deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats.
  • PHI Right Fielder #17
    Rincones crushed a no-doubter to right field against Marlins starter Ryan Gusto in the second inning. He picked up an additional RBI with a bases-loaded ground on in the ensuing frame. The 25-year-old corner outfielder was called up last Friday to replace an injured Adolis García, who is likely to miss the rest of the season with a lat tear. He should have plenty of runway to prove he belongs at the highest level, but the Phillies are likely to find a veteran upgrade prior to the trade deadline.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #45
    Wheeler scattered a pair of hits and three walks, needing just 97 pitches (59 strikes) to reel off six impressive frames. The 36-year-old veteran induced multiple strikeouts on four different pitches and came up just shy of his first double-digit strikeout performance since last August. It’s astonishing how we’ll he’s pitched considering where his fastball velocity was during minor league rehab starts earlier this spring. He’s allowed three earned runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts and boasts a sparkling 2.01 ERA during that span. He’ll close out a two-start week with a home tilt against the division-rival Mets on Sunday Night Baseball.
