Phillies' Aaron Nola: Punches out 10 in win
Rotowire
Nola (4-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over eight innings Friday, striking out 10 and earning a win over the Padres.
Nola was terrific Friday, posting his first double-digit strikeout game since July 4, 2023. He threw 74 of 106 pitches for strikes and forced 14 whiffs in the victory. The veteran righty had yielded just one run through six frames before Graham Pauley's two-run shot in the seventh inning. Since coughing up six earned runs in his season debut, Nola has posted a stifling 1.29 ERA with a 33:10 K:BB over his last five starts (35 innings). He'll carry a 3.23 ERA into his next appearance, which is projected to be on the road against the Angels next week.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Homers, drives in three
Rotowire
Marsh went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.
Marsh knocked an RBI double in the first inning followed by a two-run blast in the third, both coming against Joe Musgrove. It was Marsh's sixth long ball of the year, though he had just one over his previous 11 games before Friday's big performance. He's now slashing .291/.329/.570 with nine extra-base hits and 16 RBI through 85 plate appearances this season. Friday's game was his second multi-hit showing over his last 14 contests.
Harper went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Thursday's 5-0 win over Cincinnati.
After missing Philadelphia's last three games while on the paternity list, Harper returned with a bang Thursday, launching a two-run homer off Nick Martinez to extend the Phillies lead to 4-0 in the third inning. After a slow start to the year, Harper's starting to turn it around at the plate -- he's hit safely in his last seven games, going 10-for-24 with two home runs and nine RBI in that span. He's boosted his slash line to .256/.347/.488 with five homers and 16 RBI across 22 games this season.

Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Second straight one-hitter
Rotowire
Wheeler (2-3) earned the win Thursday against the Reds, allowing one hit and four walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
Wheeler's allowed just one hit in consecutive starts, as he's held opponents scoreless in 13.1 straight innings, posting 16 strikeouts in that span. The 33-year-old right-hander has arguably been the top fantasy starting option early in the season -- he lowered his ERA to 1.93 with a 0.88 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB through six starts (37.1 innings). Wheeler will look to keep rolling in his next outing, tentatively scheduled as a road matchup early next week against the Angels.

Phillies' Kody Clemens: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
He was up with the big club for three games while Bryce Harper was on paternity leave, but he'll now head back to Lehigh Valley as Harper rejoins the club ahead of Thursday's game in Cincinnati. Clemens went 2-for-4 with a home run in his lone start this week.

Phillies' Bryce Harper: Reinstated from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Phillies reinstated Harper (personal) from the paternity leave list Thursday.
Harper missed the first three games of the series in Cincinnati after welcoming his third child into the world, but he's back for the series finale in Cincinnati. The two-time MVP will start at first base and bat third against the Reds.
Phillies' Spencer Turnbull: Strikes out eight Wednesday
Rotowire
Turnbull didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Cincinnati, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out eight.
It was another strong effort from Turnbull, who set a season high with eight strikeouts while allowing just one run on a Will Benson solo homer in the third inning. Turnbull has been exceptional to start the year, going 2-0 with a 1.33 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB through 27 innings. Still, with Taijuan Walker (shoulder) returning from the IL, Turnbull will head to the bullpen in an effort to manage his innings. The right-hander figures to be first in line should the Phillies need help in the rotation later this season.
Marsh is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Marsh went 0-for-3 with a walk as the Phillies' cleanup hitter in Monday's 7-0 win in the series opener in Cincinnati, but he now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row while Philadelphia opposes a left-handed starting pitcher (Nick Lodolo) once again. Cristian Pache will draw the start in left field and should continue to fill the short side of a platoon with the lefty-hitting Marsh.

Phillies' Cristian Pache: Gets second straight start
Rotowire
Pache will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Pache will make his sixth start of the season and his second in as many days while the lefty-hitting Brandon Marsh checks out of the lineup with southpaw Nick Lodolo on the bump for Cincinnati. The right-handed-hitting Pache is expected to fill the short side of a platoon in the outfield for as long as he remains on the 26-man active roster.

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

Phillies' J.T. Realmuto: Gets rest day
Rotowire
Realmuto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Garrett Stubbs will get a turn behind the plate while Realmuto receives a day off for the first time since April 13. Realmuto had started at catcher in each of Philadelphia's last nine games, going 7-for-37 (.189 average) with one home run and one stolen base over that stretch.
