Bryce Harper went 1-for-5 with a solo homer against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Harper tied the game in the sixth inning, going back-to-back with Trea Turner for a solo homer off Max Scherzer. It was Harper’s third homer this month and 25th of the season to go with 72 runs scored, 71 RBI, and six steals while hitting .257/.365/.504 across 499 plate appearances.
Trea Turner

PHI Shortstop #7

Trea Turner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

The Phillies had been shut out through five innings until Turner put the team on the board with a solo homer off Max Scherzer with one out in the sixth. The home run was Turner’s 17th of the season. He later scored a run in the 10th inning as the starting runner on second. The 33-year-old shortstop is hitting .251/.298/.405 with 80 runs scored, 47 RBI, and 17 steals across 510 plate appearances.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola left Saturday’s start with a knee contusion.

The bad news is the contusion forced Nola to his outing after he allowed two runs over five innings. The good news is that imaging revealed no structural damage. The to-be-determined news is that Nola will undergo further evaluation in the coming days to determine if he can make his next scheduled start next week.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola left his start Saturday against the Blue Jays in the sixth after taking a comebacker off his left leg.

After allowing two runs through five innings, Nola was drilled after his second pitch of the sixth, a 105-mph shot from Jesús Sánchez. He was in the midst of one of his better showings before departing. He struck out eight for the fourth time this year. The third strikeout made him the 93rd pitcher in MLB history to reach 2,000.
Kyle Schwarber

PHI Designated Hitter #12

Kyle Schwarber is at first base for Saturday’s showdown against the Blue Jays.

Schwarber draws an extremely rare start at the cold corner with Alec Bohm taking a seat in this one. The 33-year-old veteran slugger will be making just his third appearance at the spot this season. He’s highly unlikely to see enough action there over the final two months to pick up eligibility there in most fantasy leagues.
Lou Trivino III

PHI Relief Pitcher #22

Phillies re-signed RHP Lou Trivino III to a minor league contract.

Trivino winds up back with the Phillies after electing free agency earlier this week. The 34-year-old reliever made three appearances for Philadelphia earlier this season. He’s merely organizational depth at this stage of his career.
Bryce Harper

PHI 1st Baseman #3

Bryce Harper went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Friday night as the Phillies dropped a heartbreaker to the Blue Jays.

Harper delivered an RBI single off of Jose Soriano in the third inning that tied the game at 2-2. He then delivered a run-scoring single during the Phillies’ uprising in the ninth that pulled them to within a run at 5-4. That would be as close as they would get though. The 33-year-old slugger is having a strong season at the dish, slashing .257/.366/.500 with 24 homers, 70 RBI and six stolen bases.
Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Zack Wheeler struggled in a losing effort against the Blue Jays on Friday night, allowing four runs on seven hits across 5 1/3 innings on a rainy evening in Philadelphia.

Wheeler racked up six strikeouts on the night, but also issued five walks in the contest. He served up a solo homer to Andres Gimenez in the second inning, then the Jays tacked on single runs in the third fourth and sixth innings against him. The 36-year-old righty got 16 whiffs on 116 pitches in the game, posting a CSW of 25 percent. Even with this off night, Wheeler will carry a mighty impressive 2.69 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and a 132/28 K/BB ratio (110 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Cardinals in St. Louis.
J.T. Realmuto

PHI Catcher #10

J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a pair of runs scored on Thursday, helping to propel the Phillies past the Nationals.

Realmuto led off the second inning with a double off of Miles Mikolas then scored on an RBI single off the bat of Justin Crawford. He then chipped in an RBI single in the third inning that extended the Phillies’ lead to 5-1. He then raced around to score on an RBI double by Bryson Stott. With his two-hit attack, the 35-year-old backstop is now slashing .226/.304/.360 with eight homers and 38 RBI on the season.
Bryce Harper

PHI 1st Baseman #3

Bryce Harper went 2-for-3 with a double, walk and two runs scored as the Phillies triumphed over the Nationals on Thursday evening in Philadelphia.

Harper drew a walk in the first inning and scored on an RBI double off the bat of Alec Bohm. He then doubled off of Miles Mikolas to start the third inning and scored on Brandon Marsh’s run-scoring double. The 33-year-old superstar is now hitting .255/.364/.500 with 24 long balls and 68 RBI on the season.
