  • Swats second homer
    Marchan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Marchan belted a solo shot in the fourth inning to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. It was the backstop's second long ball over 30 plate appearances this season, which is as many homers as he hit across 224 plate appearances in the minors last year. Marchan has shown much more promise as a contact hitter than as a power hitter during his professional career, though three of his seven hits in the majors this year have gone for extra bases.

    Advice: Rogers will sit for the second straight game, perhaps getting an extended breather after collecting just three hits across his last 29 at-bats. Carson Kelly is behind the dish and will hit ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 pm

  • Marlins release catcher Christian Bethancourt
    Marlins released C Christian Bethancourt.

    Advice: So much for sticking around as emergency organizational depth. Bethancourt went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by the Marlins. The 32-year-old veteran backstop batted just .159/.198/.268 with two homers in 88 plate appearances over 38 games this season before being cut loose. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:55 pm
     
  • Tyler Stephenson scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Tyler Stephenson was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Stephenson left the club on Thursday evening to be with his pregnant wife, according to a team statement. There’s a strong possibility he’s away from the team for the next couple days. It’ll be Luke Maile handling the catching duties in his absence. Austin Wynns would most likely come back up from Triple-A Louisville, if he’s gone more than a day or two. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:52 pm
