Phillies' Wen Hui Pan: Recovering from broken pinky
Rotowire
Pan is on the 60-day injured list with High-A Jersey Shore due to a broken pinky on his throwing hand, Matt Winkelman of Phillies Minor Thoughts reports.
Pan logged 63.2 innings across Single-A and High-A last year, and this injury could prevent him from surpassing that workload in his second pro season. The 21-year-old righty has good stuff, but he only eclipsed three innings in one appearance last year, so there's some bullpen risk long term.

Phillies' TJayy Walton: Out with undisclosed injury
Rotowire
Single-A Clearwater placed Walton on the 7-day injured list May 11 with an undisclosed injury.
The 19-year-old outfielder had a .237/.348/.407 slash line with two home runs, four steals and a 29 percent strikeout rate in 17 games before lading on the IL. Walton has big raw power and above-average speed, but his hit tool needs some refinement.

Phillies' Gabriel Rincones: Recovering from thumb injury
Rotowire
Rincones, who is on the 7-day injured list with Double-A Reading, tore a ligament in his right thumb on April 24 and could return in the middle of July, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
A 6-foot-3 lefty slugger, Rincones got off to a great start before the injury, slashing .300/.417/.600 with four home runs, four steals and a 26.7 percent strikeout rate in 60 plate appearances. This injury may prevent Rincones from pushing for a big-league debut in his age-23 season.

Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Another multi-hit game
Rotowire
Realmuto went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Rangers.
Realmuto has generated a hit in 12 consecutive games and has reached via hit multiple times in six of those contests. However, Wednesday's solo homer off Dane Dunning was his first of that stretch and his three RBI were his most since April. Realmuto is batting .377 with three doubles and 11 runs scored during his hit streak.
Sosa went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Wednesday's 11-4 win over the Rangers.
The shortstop tagged Jonathan Hernandez for a round-tripper in the fourth inning, plating Nick Castellanos and Brandon Marsh. The long ball was Sosa's second of the campaign and his first in 51 at-bats, dating back to April 7. Since Trea Turner (hamstring) was placed on the injured list May 4, Sosa is 11-for-37 (.297) with 12 runs and nine RBI.

Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Struggles with command
Rotowire
Walker didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Texas, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out five.
Walker issued a season-high four walks Wednesday, two of which came in the fifth inning before he was yanked. After taking a comebacker off the foot in his last start end exiting early, Walker threw 86 pitches and didn't seem to be limited in any capacity. Although the 31-year-old owns a 5.06 ERA across 26.2 innings, he holds a 3-0 record and hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start since his 2024 debut. He's projected to make his next start Monday at the pitcher-friendly Oracle Park.
Phillies' Rafael Marchan: Moves rehab up to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Phillies transferred Marchan's (back) rehab assignment from Single-A Clearwater to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and went 1-for-2 with a walk in his first game with the latter affiliate.
Marchan missed all of spring training and began the season on the Phillies' 10-day injured list with a back issue. He played four rehab games with Clearwater, going 3-for-11 with a home run. With J.T. Realmuto and Garrett Stubbs holding down the catching duties with the Phillies, Marchan is likely to be optioned to Lehigh Valley once he comes off the IL.
Harper went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
Harper led off the fourth inning with a double before coming around to score on an Alec Bohm single, giving the Phillies a 2-1 lead. Harper would then extend the lead to 3-1 in the fourth with a 422-foot solo blast off Jacob Latz, his 11th long ball of the year. After a sluggish start to the year, the 31-year-old Harper has been on fire in May, batting .359 with five home runs, 18 RBI and a 1.111 OPS in 17 games. He's boosted his slash line to .280/.388/.537 through 196 plate appearances this season.

Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Locks down ninth save
Rotowire
Alvarado earned the save in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
The Rangers got the tying run to the plate with one out in the ninth after an error and a Leody Taveras base hit. However, Alvarado would proceed to strike out Marcus Semien and Corey Seager, picking up his ninth save in a 5-2 win. While the Phillies have utilized a modified committee approach to the ninth inning, the left-handed Alvarado has established himself as their preferred closing option. His ERA sits at 3.54 with a 1.03 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Improves to 9-0
Rotowire
Suarez (9-0) earned the win Tuesday over the Rangers, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings.
Suarez was stellar again Tuesday, holding Texas to a lone run on a Marcus Semien double in the third inning while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts. The 28-year-old southpaw has been a revelation for the Phillies this season -- his ERA is down to a sparkling 1.36 with a 0.79 WHIP and 49:9 K:BB and he boasts an MLB-high nine wins across 10 starts (66 innings). Suarez will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend in Colorado.
Phillies' Trea Turner: Hits on field, runs at 80 percent
Rotowire
Turner (hamstring) hit on the field and ran at 80 percent effort level Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Turner has ramped up his workouts over the last week and has not reported any soreness in his left hamstring. The Phillies have been encouraged by Turner's progress, but they insist he won't be rushed and have not offered an amendment of the shortstop's initial six-week timetable. However, Friday will be just the three-week mark of the injury, so it sure seems as though Turner is ahead of schedule.

Phillies' Edmundo Sosa: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.
Sosa has received most of the starts at shortstop since Trea Turner went down and boasts a .924 OPS over that time. However, the Phillies are going with Bryson Stott at shortstop and Kody Clemens at second base versus righty Jon Gray and the Rangers.

Phillies' Johan Rojas: Swipes two bags
Rotowire
Rojas went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and two runs in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Nationals.
Rojas stole second base both times he reached, tallying his 10th and 11th pilfers of the campaign. The outing was Rojas' second multi-steal game of his career. Although Rojas' batting average has fallen from .302 to .228 in comparison to last season, he's been much more disciplined at the plate, with his BB/K improving from 0.12 to 0.27 through 40 games.
