Philadelphia Phillies

Fantasy Impact: Dominguez was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in June but never ended up needing surgery, instead opting for rest and rehab. The 24-year-old struggled in 2019 but was a highly valuable reliever the season prior.

Phillies starter Zach Eflin allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six in Saturday's win over the Miami Marlins. The win brought him to 10-13 on the year.

Fantasy Impact: Eflin finished what has been an up-and-down season strong on Saturday and ends the year with a 4.13 ERA and 129 strikeouts over 163 1/3 innings.

Phillies starter Jason Vargas allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and five walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Thursday's loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: Vargas had thrown a quality start his last time out but will now finish the year with a 4.51 ERA over 149 2/3 innings.

Phillies starter Drew Smyly allowed two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out 10 over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Smyly ended the year on a positive note but still has a 6.24 ERA to show for his efforts this season as he struggled with both the Rangers and the Phillies.

Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper went 2-for-5 with a solo home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader. The homer was his 34th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Harper did not start the second game of the doubleheader but appeared as a pinch hitter and hit his 34th home run to continue what has been a strong second half.

Phillies starter Aaron Nola allowed five earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out nine over 5 2/3 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Washington Nationals.

Fantasy Impact: Nola is not exactly finishing the year strong as he has now allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five starts. If he makes his last start of the season, it is currently scheduled to come against the Marlins on Sunday.

Phillies utilityman Scott Kingery went 1-for-3 with a triple, an RBI, and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: Kingery has slowed down in recent weeks but is still having a solid season overall, hitting .258 with 62 runs scored, 19 home runs, 55 RBI, and 12 stolen bases through 118 games.

Jean Segura left Thursday's game against the Braves in the top of the sixth inning after suffering an apparent left hamstring injury while running to first base after hitting an RBI single, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. (Source: Todd Zolecki on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: He walked off gingerly after the injury occurred and Maikel Franco came on to run for him. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on updates to see just how serious this is going to be.

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto went 0-for-2 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Braves. The steal was his ninth of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Realmuto has been one of the most valuable catchers in fantasy again this season even without the stolen bases, so the nine has had added for fantasy owners this year is just an added bonus at a weak fantasy position.

Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Braves. The homer was his 12th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Hernandez helped owners in leagues that reward for hits this season since he has 158 of them, but he has otherwise had a fairly mediocre year. He is hitting .282 with 12 home runs, nine stolen bases, 70 runs scored, and 66 RBI. Those numbers are solid but don't move the needle in most formats.

Phillies closer Hector Neris allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out one en route to earning his 27th save of the season in Tuesday's win over the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: Neris now has a 3.03 ERA on the season, which fantasy owners will live with as long as he continues to hold down the ninth inning job in Philadelphia.

Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Braves. The homer was his 29th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Hoskins has now hit in eight straight games and seems to be getting hot at the right time for fantasy owners who are trying to win their championships this week.

Vince Velasquez allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings in Tuesday's win over the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: Velasquez has pitched to very mixed results this season and has not been pitching deep into games. He does have 121 strikeouts over 108 2/3 innings, but his 4.89 ERA shows how inconsistent he has been. He is currently scheduled to get another start this week when he takes on the Indians in Cleveland.

Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's win over the Braves. The homers were his 11th and 12th of the season.

Fantasy Impact: Dickerson now has three home runs over his last two games and now has eight since arriving in Philadelphia at the trade deadline.

Fantasy Impact: Bruce last played for the Phillies on August 8th before landing on the injured list with a flexor strain in his left arm. He went hitless in eight at-bats in two rehab games at Double-A Reading. Bruce will platoon with Corey Dickerson in left field.

Fantasy Impact: Franco went 2-for-6 this weekend while filling in for Bryce Harper (paternity leave). The 27-year-old will likely return to the Phillies when rosters expand on September 1st.

Nick Pivetta was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. (Source: Matt Breen on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pivetta was shifted to the bullpen earlier this season, but has allowed at least one earned run in four of his last five appearances. He will look to get back on track in Triple-A, but whether he is used as a starter or reliever remains to be seen.

Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Padres, but he also left the game due to groin tightness.

Fantasy Impact: Quinn has been riding a little hot streak lately, with hits in four straight games and multiple hits in two of those games.

The Phillies placed starter Jake Arrieta on the injured list on Wednesday, and he will undergo tests on Thursday to determine whether or not he will have season-ending surgery on his ailing elbow, according to reports. (Source: Scott Lauber on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Arrieta has been pitching through bone spurs in his elbow for this last several starts, and the issue has apparently gotten progressively worse. While the tests will provide more information and the official word, Arrieta is expecting to have surgery and be shut down for the rest of the season.

Phillies reliever David Robertson is out for the season and is expected to need surgery to repair the flexor tendon. He may also require Tommy John Surgery at some point, according to a report from Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic. (Source: Meghan Montemurro on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Robertson was signed by the Phillies in the offseason to be their closer, but his season is now over after throwing just 6 2/3 innings 5.40 ERA ball for Philadelphia. If he ends up needing Tommy John Surgery, he will likely miss all of next season, as well. Look for updates on his status in the coming weeks, but he can be dropped in all formats.
