Fantasy Impact: Realmuto will sit out for rest reasons, with Garrett Stubbs starting at catcher and batting eighth for manager Rob Thomson against the Nationals Sunday.


Cristopher Sanchez pitched seven strong innings, allowing two earned runs on eight hits while striking out eight in the Phillies' 4-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite not factoring into the decision, Sanchez delivered a quality start, maintaining control throughout the game by not issuing any walks. His performance today slightly improves his already respectable season ERA of 3.31 and continues to demonstrate his ability to manage games effectively despite a high WHIP of 1.45. Sanchez's solid strikeout numbers and low walk rate are encouraging for fantasy managers, though his high BABIP suggests some elements of bad luck in play. Moving forward, Sanchez remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in formats that reward strikeouts and quality starts.

Kody Clemens went 2-for-2 with a home run and an RBI as the Phillies edged out the Nationals 4-3.

Fantasy Impact: Clemens's performance, highlighted by his clutch home run, contributed significantly to the team's victory. With a season batting average now standing at .304 and a wOBA of .470, Clemens is proving to be an efficient hitter in his limited appearances this season. His power has been on display with three homers in just 23 at-bats, indicating potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, especially if his playing time increases. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his high strikeout rate and low walk rate, which could limit his on-base opportunities.

Bryson Stott went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Phillies' 4-3 victory over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow win, marking his fifth homer of the season. Stott's performance this year has been solid, maintaining a .280 batting average with a healthy .370 wOBA, indicating his effectiveness at the plate. His blend of power and speed, highlighted by 12 stolen bases and consistent run production, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. While his strikeout rate remains low, his ability to draw walks and get on base should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Jeff Hoffman notched a save in the Phillies' 4-2 victory over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of work, contributing to his team's win without recording any strikeouts. This performance, while not flashy, was effective and adds to his season's solid stats, including a stellar 0.90 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. Hoffman's ability to close games, evidenced by his third save, should keep him relevant in fantasy leagues, especially those valuing saves and ERA. However, his lack of strikeouts in this outing might be a slight concern for fantasy managers relying on him for those points. His high K/9 rate this season suggests this may just be a blip, but it's something to monitor.

Zack Wheeler delivered a strong performance, allowing two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six over 7 1/3 innings in Friday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a stellar season for Wheeler, who now boasts a 2.52 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP through 10 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.5 K/9) along with a solid 3.74 strikeout-to-walk ratio underscores his reliability as a top-tier fantasy starter. Wheeler's consistent performance, highlighted by a low 0.240 BABIP, suggests he's effectively managing contact and should remain a strong asset in fantasy lineups. Owners should continue to deploy him with confidence, expecting quality starts and high strikeout totals.

Ranger Suarez delivered a strong performance in Wednesday's 10-5 victory over the Mets, tossing five scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and two walks, and striking out three.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a stellar season for Suarez, who now boasts an impressive 1.37 ERA and 0.76 WHIP through 10 starts. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a high strikeout rate and a superb strikeout-to-walk ratio enhances his value in all fantasy formats. Given his consistent performance and low BABIP, fantasy managers should view Suarez as a reliable starting option, though they should be wary of potential regression if his BABIP normalizes.

Bryce Harper went 3-for-5 in the Phillies' 10-5 victory over the Mets, delivering a double, a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Harper's ability to be a key run producer, as evidenced by his solid accumulation of 32 RBI and 10 homers in just 39 games this season. Despite a batting average (.264) that might not jump off the page, his power metrics, including a .377 wOBA, suggest he remains a potent threat at the plate. Fantasy managers should continue to value Harper highly, particularly in formats that reward extra-base hits and RBI, as he consistently contributes in these categories.

Jose Alvarado secured his eighth save of the season in a clean inning as the Phillies edged out the Mets 5-4 on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: He threw nine pitches, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, and did not record a strikeout. This performance underscores Alvarado's role as a reliable closer for the Phillies, maintaining a solid 3.57 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP through 19 appearances. His consistent ability to close games without allowing runs or walks boosts his fantasy value, especially in leagues that reward saves and WHIP. With no blown saves this season, Alvarado remains a dependable option for fantasy managers needing saves.
