• Goes yard again Wednesday
    Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: The 34-year-old first baseman appears to be heating up. Rizzo has gone yard in back-to-back games after managing only one homer in his first 23 contests this season. His .242/.314/.358 slash line and 11 RBI remain below expectations, but after a tough, concussion-marred 2023 campaign, Rizzo's beginning to look more like the player who slugged 32 homers in 2022.

  • Four more hits Wednesday
    Bohm went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Bohm's been on a tear of late. He now has multiple hits in four straight contests while extending his hitting streak to eight games -- he's 16-for-30 with a 1.522 OPS in that span. The 27-year-old Bohm's now slashing .337/.430/.558 with three homers, 21 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 25 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 am

  • Phillies option Kody Clemens to Triple-A
    Phillies optioned INF Kody Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh.

    Advice: Clemens came up to the active roster while Bryce Harper was away on paternity leave. The 27-year-old made the most of his time up when he hit a three-run home run on Monday, but wasn’t in the lineup for Philly’s last two games. He’ll head down to the minors where he is slashing .270/.333/.508 with three homers and 11 RBI in 16 games this season. Rotoworld Today, 7:24 am
  • Sent back to minors
    The Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.

    Advice: 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. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am
  • Reinstated from paternity leave
    The Phillies reinstated Harper (personal) from the paternity leave list Thursday.

    Advice: 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. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 am
  • Phillies activate Bryce Harper from paternity list
    Phillies activated Bryce Harper from the paternity list.

    Advice: After a few days off to celebrate the birth of a child, Harper joins the Phillies in their series finale against the Reds. He’ll look to extend his hitting streak to seven games and get the Phillies back on track after consecutive losses to Cincinnati. Rotoworld Today, 7:15 am
  • Performance turning around
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Tigers.

    Advice: Diaz got off to a slow start to the season, but he now has at least one hit in seven of his last eight starts. In that span, he also has four multi-hit performances and a .314 batting average. Counting stats haven't followed Diaz's turnaround at the plate, but as the locked-in leadoff hitter, that should also change as the season progresses. Rotowire.com Today, 7:07 am
  • Takes advantage of rare start
    Singleton went 2-for-4 with a run scored Wednesday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Singleton was in the lineup for the ninth time this season while filling in for Jose Abreu at first base and hitting seventh. He managed his second multi-hit performance of the campaign and is hitting .256 across 43 plate appearances. Even with Abreu's struggles this season, Singleton looks unlikely to pick up significant playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:24 pm
  • Alec Bohm goes 4-for-4 as cleanup man
    Alec Bohm finished 4-for-4 with two RBI and a walk against the Reds on April 26 on Wednesday.

    Advice: It’s worth wondering if the Phillies might have another win or two if they had just left Bohm in cleanup spot, which is where he finished last year, to begin this season. He’s batting .337.430/.558 in 100 plate appearances. He did hit cleanup tonight, though that’s probably just because usual cleanup man J.T. Realmuto had the night off. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:57 pm
