• Bryce Harper goes on IL with mild hamstring strain
    Phillies placed 1B Bryce Harper on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: The Phillies are calling it a low-grade strain, so Harper could be ready to go as soon as his 10 days are up. Kody Clemens will fill in at first base against righties. The Phillies will probably shift Alec Bohm to first and play Edmundo Sosa at third versus lefties. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago

  • Phillies activate Kody Clemens from injured list
    Phillies activated INF Kody Clemens from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Clemens went 8-for-28 with two homers on his rehab assignment. Expect him to start at first base against righties until Bryce Harper returns, giving him a little value in deep leagues. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Back from IL
    The Phillies activated Clemens (back) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Clemens has missed most of June with back spasms but is ready to go following a six-game rehab stint which included a pair of home runs. He will give the Phillies an option both at first base and designated hitter while Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin) are out. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
     
  • Not in starting nine
    Sheets (heel) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Colorado.

    Advice: Sheets will be absent from the starting lineup for a second consecutive game since being removed Wednesday with a left heel contusion. While it's possible he wouldn't have been in the lineup even if fully healthy, Sheets should still be considered day-to-day. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Headed to IL with low-grade strain
    The Phillies placed Harper on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Harper suffered the injury on the final play of Thursday's loss to the Marlins while running out a grounder. The good news is it's considered a low-grade strain and Harper might return as soon as July 9, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The Phillies could also play things cautiously and hold him out until after the All-Star break. While Harper is sidelined, Philadelphia will likely shift Alec Bohm over to first base and put Edmundo Sosa at third. Rotowire.com Today, 11:26 am

  • Bryce Harper gets good news, still IL bound
    Bryce Harper was diagnosed with a low-grade hamstring strain but will go on the 10-day injured list, according to The Athletic’s Matt Gelb.

    Advice: The Phillies think there’s a chance Harper could be ready when his 10 days are up. They’ll likely activate Kody Clemens in Harper’s place and use him at first base against righties until Harper returns. Rotoworld Today, 11:23 am

  • Homers in win Thursday
    Sano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-0 victory against Detroit on Thursday.

    Advice: Sano got a second straight start and put the Angels on the board in the first inning with a solo shot to center field. On a less positive note, the veteran slugger struck out in his other three at-bats, and he's fanned five times over nine plate appearances since returning from the injured list June 25. Sano's big-league resume suggests he can offer the Angels plenty of pop, but his 40 percent strikeout rate on the campaign highlights his primary weakness as a hitter.

  • Two hits, stolen base in win
    Schanuel went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Detroit.

    Advice: Schanuel recorded singles in two of his first three at-bats, driving home Zach Neto on the latter before also swiping his second bag of the campaign. The first baseman has now hit safely in three straight contests, while Thursday's performance marked his fifth multi-hit performance this month. However, he's still batting just .237 in June with three homers, eight RBI and nine runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 7:18 am
  • Productive in rout
    Turner went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: The hit was a fluky one -- he squibbed a ball down the first-base line, and it caromed off the bag and away from Ben Rice rather than rolling foul -- but Turner still put together a productive night in a 9-2 rout. The veteran slugger has found a groove at the plate, going 10-for-25 (.400) over the last eight games with a double, a homer, four RBI, seven runs and an 8:6 BB:K. Despite the surge, Turner's .715 OPS on the season would be his lowest mark since 2013. Rotowire.com Today, 6:56 am
