Jean Segura Activated And Batting Second Versus Miami
Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura (groin) was activated off the injured list on Tuesday and will start versus the Marlins.

Ronald Torreyes Collects Two RBI Versus Reds
Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Ronald Torreyes went 1-for-4 with two RBI in a loss to the Reds on Monday. It was a good game for the utility infielder who drove in his runs with a hit and an RBI groundout, but he's not someone to prioritize in fantasy. Torreyes is batting .271 but that comes with...

Alec Bohm Stuffs The Stat Sheet Versus Reds
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm went 2-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored, a walk, and a stolen base in a loss to the Reds on Monday.

Zack Wheeler Dominates Mets On Sunday
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler had a nice bounce-back effort on Sunday as he dominated the Mets to earn his sixth win this season.

Archie Bradley Earns First Save On Sunday
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Archie Bradley allowed one run but nothing else to earn his first save of the season on Sunday.

Hector Neris Takes Tough-Luck Blown Save Versus Mets
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed two unearned runs to suffer his sixth blown save in a loss to the Mets on Saturday.

Jake Diekman Whiffs Three In Outing Versus Rangers
Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jake Diekman struck out the side while allowing one hit in his appearance against the Rangers on Thursday.

Skye Bolt Collects RBI, Run Scored In Loss
Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in a loss to the Rangers on Wednesday.

Read More
