Philadelphia Phillies

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, two RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact: Realmuto played the hero for the Phillies on Tuesday and he is now batting .265 with a .792 OPS on the season.

Phillies starter Ranger Suarez allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings in Monday's loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

Fantasy Impact: Suarez pitched well on Monday, but the Phillies were shut down by Baltimore starter John Means and ended up being shut out on just four hits. Suarez will take a superb 1.60 ERA into his next start.

Phillies starter Kyle Gibson allowed three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine over 6 2/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the New York Mets. The loss drops him to 10-8 on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Gibson has been as-advertised since joining the Phillies at the MLB trade deadline and will take a 3.51 ERA into his next start as Philadelphia tries to stay in the playoff hunt.

Phillies starter Zack Wheeler allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings in Friday's win over the Mets. The win brings him to 14-9 on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Wheeler hasn't been as dominant in the second half for the Phillies as he was in the first half, but he still has a 2.83 ERA to go with 14 wins as Philadelphia attempts to battle their way into the playoffs.

Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: While the overall numbers aren't great in standard fantasy formats, McCutchen does have 71 runs scored, 24 home runs, 72 RBI, 73 walks,a nd six stolen bases to go with a .333 OBP through 130 games.

Phillies infielder Jean Segura went 3-for-6 with three runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Segura has been a reliable contributor for both the Phillies and fantasy managers this season and is now batting .298 with an .800 OPS on the year.

Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored, four RBI, and two walks in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact: Harper is doing it all for a Phillies team that is trying to scratch and claw their way into the playoffs, and the veteran outfielder is among the league leaders for the National League MVP award as the season winds down.

Phillies shortstop Didi Gregorius went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Rockies. The homer was his 11th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Through 84 games, Gregorius is batting just .220 with 31 runs scored, 11 home runs, 43 RBI, and three stolen bases.

Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin has been out since mid-July with the injury, and is now going to get surgery to repair his right patellar tendon. He'll recover in 6-8 months and has been transferred to the 60-day IL. (Source: Todd Zolecki on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Eflin started out the season pitching very effectively, totalling a 3.58 ERA in his first five starts before tailing off mid-way through the season. Nonetheless, Eflin did his job as an inning eater for Philadelphia, pitching 105.2 innings in just 18 starts.

Phillies starter Aaron Nola allowed three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six over five innings in Tuesday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Nola has allowed nine earned runs over his last nine innings and will take a 4.57 ERA into his next start against the Rockies at home.

Phillies reliever Ian Kennedy struck out four over two scoreless innings to earn the win in Sunday's victory over the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact: Kennedy pitched a scoreless ninth inning and then closed out the game in the bottom of the 10th after the Phillies took the lead in the top of the inning.

The Phillies have officially released right-handed pitcher Chase Anderson. He was designated for assignment on Wednesday. (Source: Matt Gelb on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Anderson had struggled so far this season, going 2-4 with a 6.75 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and .268 OBA over the course of 14 outings (nine starts). He allowed three runs during a start on August 4th and was later placed on the 10-day injured list. He has not pitched since then.

Phillies' first baseman Rhys Hoskins is out for the remainder of the 2021 season due to a tear in his lower abdomen. (Source: Todd Zolecki on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Hoskins was just placed on the 10-day IL with what the Phillies initially thought was a groin strain, but it looks to be a much more serious injury than they initially suspected. Hoskins will have season-ending surgery to repair a tear in his lower abdomen, a huge blow to the Phillies and their long shot playoff hopes. Hoskins will end the 2021 season with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs, and a slash line of .247/.334/.530.

Phillies' reliever Jose Alvarado has been reinstated from the 10-day IL on Thursday. (Source: Philadelphia Phillies on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Alvarado has been on the IL since August 11th, suffering from an inflamed left shoulder. However, after a brief rehab appearance on Tuesday, it looks like the lefty reliever is good to go to help the Phillies in their playoff push.

Phillies' corner infielder Alec Bohm has been optioned to the Phillies' Triple-A site at Lehigh Valley. (Source: Philadelphia Phillies on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: After finishing second in the 2020 NL Rookie of the Year voting, Bohm has struggled on both sides of the ball this season, slashing just .245/.302/.342 to go along with a .936 fielding percentage at third base. Bohm will look to retool during his minor league stint before finding his way back to the big league roster.

Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Padres. The homer was his 10th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Through 88 games, Herrera is batting .250 with 41 runs scored, 10 home runs, 36 RBI, and four stolen bases.

Phillies starter Matt Moore tossed six no-hit innings in Saturday's win over the Cincinnati Reds, walking two and striking out eight.

Fantasy Impact: Moore hasn't exactly been a success story in Philadelphia and now sports a 6.07 ERA, but he was locked in on Saturday. He isn't someone fantasy managers should be targeting.

Phillies utilityman Brad Miller went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's win over the Mets. The homers were his 11th and 12th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Miller doesn't have a spot in the everyday lineup but has appeared in 91 games, batting .232 with 35 runs scored, 12 home runs, 32 RBI, and three stolen bases.

Phillies reliever Archie Bradley earned his second save of the season in Thursday's win over the Nationals, allowing two hits and an unearned run in an inning of work.

Fantasy Impact: With Ranger Suarez transitioning to the starting rotation, the Phillies appear to be utilizing a committee approach to the ninth inning for now.

The Phillies have placed starting pitcher Vince Velasquez on the 10-day injured list with a blister on his right middle finger. In a corresponding move, Enyel De Los Santos was promoted from Triple-A. (Source: Philadelphia Phillies on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Through 21 games (17 starts) this year, Velasquez is 3-6 with a 5.95 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and .244 OBA. He has also walked 45 batters and struck out 85. Since this roster move is retroactive to July 31st, the right-hander can return to action as early as August 10th.
