Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Goes seven innings in no-decision
Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Sanchez allowed two runs in the fourth inning but was otherwise excellent, throwing 68 of 98 pitches for strikes without issuing a walk for just the second time this season. The 28-year-old delivered his third straight quality start and has been remarkably consistent, allowing three earned runs or fewer in 13 of his 14 outings. He'll carry a 3.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 88:28 K:BB across 79.2 innings into a favorable matchup with the Marlins next week.

Phillies' Max Kepler: Plays hero in win
Kepler went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Kepler broke a 2-2 tie with what proved to be a game-winning solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. After opening June in a 1-for-18 slump, the 32-year-old has hit safely in four straight games with four extra-base hits, four RBI and five runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .214/.303/.398 with eight home runs, 25 RBI and 29 runs scored across 234 plate appearances, though he continues to sit regularly against left-handed pitching.

Phillies' Matt Strahm: Converts third save
Strahm earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Strahm was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and needed just seven pitches to do so. It was notable that the southpaw was used against three right-handed hitters, perhaps a reflection of Jordan Romano allowing runs in three of his past four appearances. On the year, Strahm owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 33:8 K:BB across 28.1 innings, and he could challenge for the closer role if Romano's struggles persist.

Phillies' Orion Kerkering: Excellent stretch continues in win
Kerkering (5-2) threw a clean eighth inning in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays, striking out one while earning the win.
Kerkering has been excellent in relief for over a month now -- he last conceded an earned run back on May 6. The 24-year-old right-hander's streak of no earned runs is up to 13.1 innings, during which he owns a 1.20 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB. It was interesting to see the Phillies bypass presumed closer Jordan Romano in a save opportunity in favor of left-hander Matt Strahm on Saturday, which suggests the club may have an unclear bullpen hierarchy that could also leave the door open for Kerkering to work his way into the mix.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Blanks Toronto in seven innings
Suarez (5-1) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six across seven scoreless innings.
It was another strong outing for Suarez, who allowed one baserunner or less in six of seven innings while tossing 94 pitches (65 strikes) and inducing eight groundballs. The 29-year-old southpaw has logged seven straight quality starts, and over that span he has a 1.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 46.2 innings. Suarez will look to stay hot in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Marlins.

Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Crosses home three times
Realmuto went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and three runs scored during Friday's 8-0 win over Toronto.
Realmuto gave the Phillies a six-run lead in the eighth with an RBI double and crossed home plate three times, a season high. The veteran catcher has reached base safely in eight of his last nine games, and over that span he has gone 11-for-32 (.344) with six runs scored, two doubles and five RBI.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Cranks three-run homer
Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 8-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Schwarber handed the Phillies a four-run lead in the second inning when he took Kevin Gausman deep to center field for a 410-foot, three-run homer. Schwarber has struggled at the plate since the beginning of June (5-for-38), but he has gone deep in back-to-back games, and his 22 home runs this season ranks second in the National League behind Shohei Ohtani (23).

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Good to go Friday
Marsh (elbow) is starting in center field and batting ninth Friday against the Blue Jays.
Marsh sat out Wednesday's contest after hyperextending his left elbow Tuesday, but he's ready to retake the field for Philadelphia after Thursday's team off day. The 27-year-old is off to a strong start in June, having gone 7-for-17 with three walks, a double and a stolen base in nine games.

Phillies' Justin Crawford: Dealing with quad injury
Crawford hasn't played for Triple-A Lehigh Valley since June 5 due to a quad injury, Corey Nidoh of Philly Sports Network reports.
He reportedly participated in pregame activities Tuesday but has missed six games in a row with the injury without having been placed on the 7-day injured list. Crawford, 21, is one of the youngest players at Triple-A and is slashing .349/.416/.448 with one home run and 23 steals in 52 games. He could produce a high average and a plethora of steals if given a shot in the big leagues later this summer, but his extreme groundball (63.6 GB%) and opposite-field (43.8 Oppo%) tendencies will prevent him from hitting for notable power.

Phillies' Max Lazar: Continues work as multi-inning arm
Lazar allowed one run on three hits and no walks in two relief innings Wednesday against the Cubs. He struck out one.
Lazar continues to operate as a multi-inning middle reliever for the Phillies, as he's worked beyond one frame in four of his six outings. The 26-year-old right-hander should remain a bullpen piece while Aaron Nola (ankle) is sidelined, but Lazar has an uninspiring 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB with zero holds over 10 innings.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Drives in four in Wednesday's win
Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Cubs.
Shifted back to third base after starting four straight games at first base to cover for Bryce Harper (wrist), Bohm delivered his third straight multi-hit performance Wednesday while setting a season high in RBI. The 28-year-old capped the scoring for the Phillies on the afternoon with a solo shot off Genesis Cabrera in the seventh inning. Since the beginning of May, Bohm is batting a blistering .333 (47-for-141) in 37 contests with all six of his homers on the year, plus 16 runs and 20 RBI.

Phillies' Kyle Schwarber: Big day against Cubbies
Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Cubs.
The 32-year-old slugger swiped his fifth bag of the year in the first inning on a double steal before coming around to score, and Schwarber then obliterated a Ben Brown fastball in the third, sending it 431 feet to right field with an exit velocity of 109.6 mph. Schwarber's .921 OPS so far this season would be his best performance in that category since he posted a career-high .928 in 2021, and through 68 games he's left the yard 21 times, putting him on pace for a shot at his first career 50-homer campaign.

Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Fans 10 in return to form
Luzardo (6-2) picked up the win in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out 10 without walking a batter.
The left-hander made a slight mechanical adjustment to try and avoid tipping pitches after getting hammered for 20 earned runs in only 5.2 innings over his prior two starts, a collapse that saw his ERA soar from 2.15 to 4.46. The tweak paid immediate dividends, as Luzardo fanned double-digit batters for the fourth time this season and didn't issue a walk for only the second time. He racked up 30 called or swinging strikes among his 99 pitches (70 total strikes), and he seems back in elite form heading into a potential revenge game in his next outing, a road start scheduled for early next week in Miami.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Stays hot with first triple
Castellanos went 1-for-4 with a triple in Wednesday's 7-2 victory over the Cubs.
It was the first three-bagger of the year for Castellanos, who continues to be a steady presence in the heart of the Phillies' lineup. Over his last 16 outings (61 plate appearances), the veteran slugger is slashing a robust .328/.361/.534 with two homers, four doubles and three RBI. Castellanos has also batted in the cleanup spot in five of Philadelphia's last six games with Bryce Harper (wrist) on the injured list.

Phillies' Otto Kemp: Will be used at first base
Kemp is starting at first base in Wednesday's game against the Cubs and is expected to mostly play that position for the Phillies while Bryce Harper (wrist) is sidelined, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Kemp's first four major-league starts came at third base, but the Phillies have decided to move Alec Bohm back to the hot corner and install Kemp at first base. The 25-year-old Kemp's playing time at first base in the minors has been relatively limited, although he has made seven starts at the position this season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
