  • Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Hit hard in Friday's loss

    Walker (1-3) took the loss Friday as the Phillies were routed 9-0 by Atlanta, coughing up seven runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.

    The right-hander served up homers to Austin Riley in the second inning and Dominic Smith in the third, the second time in four starts that Walker has been taken deep multiple times. It's been a brutal beginning to the year for the 33-year-old, and he carries a 9.16 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB through 18.2 innings. Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will make what could be his final rehab start Sunday, but that schedule would allow Walker to get one more turn through the rotation on the road next week against the Cubs before being replaced.

  • Phillies' Tim Mayza: Two scoreless frames Friday

    Mayza allowed one hit and no walks in two scoreless innings Friday against Atlanta.

    After giving up three earned runs his last time out versus the Cubs, Mayza got right back on track Friday with his eighth scoreless outing of the season already. While the southpaw has just one hold in 2026, he's proven to be very capable out of the bullpen while posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through 11 frames.

  • Phillies' Bryce Harper: Adds triple to torrid month

    Harper went 3-for-4 with a triple in Friday's 9-0 loss to Atlanta.

    The three-bagger was Harper's first of the season and the 25th of his career. After starting the season in a 2-for-20 cold spell during March, the All-Star first baseman is tearing the cover off the ball in April. Over 50 at-bats on the month so far, Harper is batting .360 with 10 extra-base hits, nine RBI, eight walks and one stolen base.

  • Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Out against left-hander

    Marsh is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against Atlanta.

    The left-handed-hitting Marsh has essentially been an everyday guy this season, but he'll grab a seat in this one as Atlanta sends southpaw Martin Perez to the bump. Otto Kemp will handle left field and bat ninth for the Phillies.

  • Phillies' Trea Turner: Homers again Wednesday

    Turner went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Turner wasted no time getting Philadelphia on the board, crushing a 423-foot solo homer off Shota Imanaga on the second pitch of the game. It was his second home run of the season and extended his strong stretch at the plate. Turner has now recorded a hit in 14 of his last 15 games, batting .283 with seven RBI and 10 runs scored across 64 plate appearances during that span.

  • Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Shelled again in loss

    Luzardo (1-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Cubs, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

    Luzardo was prone to big innings once again, as after two scoreless frames to begin the game in which Chicago managed only one hit, the Cubs posted a three-spot in the third and then chased the the left-hander from the contest with four runs in the sixth. Luzardo's performance Wednesday continued a troubling early-season trend, as he has now allowed five or more earned runs in three of his first four starts, ballooning his ERA to 7.94 through 22.2 innings despite a 30:5 K:BB. While there's still plenty of time for Luzardo to turn things around, it's been a concerning start after Philadelphia committed to him long term with a five-year, $135 million extension this spring.

  • Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Looks sharper in fourth rehab start

    Wheeler (shoulder) struck out nine and allowed four hits and no walks while allowing three runs in 5.2 innings during his fourth rehab start with Double-A Reading on Tuesday.

    Wheeler built himself up to 72 pitches Tuesday, an encouraging sign during the final stages of his rehab from last year's venous thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. The right-hander is next slated to make a fifth and perhaps final rehab appearance with Reading on Sunday. Manager Rob Thomson did note Tuesday that Wheeler could make a sixth rehab start, per Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, depending on how the hurler fares in his outing Sunday.

  • Phillies' Justin Crawford: Idle for series finale

    Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    The Phillies will hold the left-handed-hitting Crawford out for just the second time this season, shielding him from Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga while adding another right-handed bat (Otto Kemp) to the starting outfield. Crawford has done well early on to hold his own at the plate with a .288 average and .755 OPS, but the rookie hasn't offered much of an impact on the bases (one steal in two attempts) after swiping 46 bags in 113 Triple-A games in 2025.

  • Phillies' Bryson Stott: Handed day off Wednesday

    Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    After slugging a home run and a double in the Phillies' 10-4 loss while filling in for Alec Bohm at third base Tuesday, Edmundo Sosa will stick in the lineup for a second straight game, this time replacing Stott at the keystone. Stott will take a seat after starting in each of the Phillies' last six games while going 5-for-22 (.227 average) with two walks, two stolen bases, an RBI and a run.

  • Phillies' Zach Pop: Sidelined by calf strain

    The Phillies placed Pop on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right calf strain.

    Pop evidently suffered the injury during an opener assignment Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He will be eligible for activation April 28, but it's too soon to know whether he will be back on that date. Kyle Backhus has taken Pop's spot on the roster and in the Philadelphia bullpen.

  • Phillies' Kyle Backhus: Returning to Philadelphia

    The Phillies recalled Backhus from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Backhus will get the call back to Philadelphia as a replacement in the bullpen for righty Zach Pop (calf), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Before being sent back to Lehigh Valley last week, Backhus had yielded three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters in three innings across his four appearances with the big club.

  • Phillies' Aaron Nola: Goes five innings in no-decision

    Nola didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts across five innings.

    Nola dealt with a lot of traffic on the bases and was unable to hold onto an early 3-0 lead, as he gave up five hits and a couple of runs in the third inning before walking a pair ahead of a game-tying single in the fifth. No longer the top-of-the-rotation starter he once was as he closes in on his 33rd birthday and coming off a 6.01 ERA across 17 starts last season, Nola has logged a 4.03 ERA and 23:6 K:BB across 22.1 innings to begin the 2026 campaign. He's really struggled against left-handed hitters since the start of last season. Nola is in line to face the Cubs again in his next start Monday at Wrigley Field.

  • Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Smashes first homer Tuesday

    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the Cubs.

    Sosa blasted homer No. 1 on the campaign, taking Cubs right-hander Colin Rea deep in the second inning. While the righty-hitting infielder is stuck in a short-side platoon, he's been effective when deployed so far this season. Sosa has gone 5-for-17 (.294) with three extra-base hits, five RBI and two walks over eight games.
