Phillies' Bryan De La Cruz: Playing time down after deadline
De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
De La Cruz made three straight starts in right field from last Saturday through Monday, but he's moved into a reserve role in the aftermath of the trade deadline. With the Phillies bringing aboard Luis Arraez and installing him as their everyday second baseman, Bryce Harper has supplanted De La Cruz as the team's everyday right fielder as part of a domino effect that has also resulted in Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm changing positions. De La Cruz will hit the bench Sunday for the fifth time in six games.

The Phillies optioned Shugart to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
He'll give up his spot on the active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Alan Rangel, who was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Over two stints in the majors this season, Shugart has logged a 4.93 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 38.1 innings innings while making most of his appearances in lower-leverage spots.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Summoned to big leagues
The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Rangel will provide the Phillies with some extra bullpen coverage in Sunday's series finale versus the Blue Jays, but if he isn't needed for that contest, he could be an option to make a spot start at some point during the next four games. Andrew Painter (hamstring) and Aaron Nola (knee) both exited their most recent starts due to injury, though the two pitchers are tentatively in line to make their next turns through the rotation.

Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Continues to struggle in 2026
Alvarado was charged with a blown save Saturday against Toronto, giving up two runs on one hit and two walks in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.
With the Phillies holding a 4-2 lead in the eighth inning, Alvarado was unable to bridge the gap to the ninth frame ahead of closer Jhoan Duran on Saturday. It's been a major struggle for the left-hander as a setup man in 2026, as he's worked to a 5.77 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 56:19 K:BB with 10 holds over 43.2 innings.

Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Fans six in third loss
Wheeler (10-3) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on seven hits and five walks over 5.1 innings as the Phillies fell 5-4 to the Blue Jays. He struck out six.
A two-hour rain delay before the first pitch did Wheeler no favors. The veteran right-hander ended up throwing a season-high 116 pitches (72 strikes) as he battled to escape the sixth inning, and a 15-pitch at-bat against Nathan Lukes that ended in a single finally spelled the end of his night. The five free passes were also a season high for Wheeler, matching the total from his seven previous outings combined. He'll take a 2.69 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 132:28 K:BB through 110.1 innings into his next start, which is set to come on the road next week in St. Louis.

Sanchez (15-4) earned the win Thursday over the Nationals, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six.

Still, the southpaw came away with his league-leading 15th win of the season and his sixth in his last seven outings.
