    • Blows save Saturday
      Phillips blew a save in Saturday's 11-9 extra-innings loss to the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one in the ninth inning.

      Advice: Phillips was called upon to protect a 9-6 lead with a runner on second and no outs in the ninth inning but allowed the Tigers to tie the game on an RBI single and a two-run home run. The righty has struggled in July, yielding four earned runs and blowing two saves in five appearances while not always working the ninth inning. On the year, he is 14-for-16 in save chances with a 2.73 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB across 29.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm

      Advice: Burleson knocked a base hit in the first inning and scored on an error. He then capped off a nine-run opening frame with a three-run blast off Hayden Wesneski. Burleson added a double in the third inning and was later replaced by Matt Carpenter with the Cardinals comfortably ahead in the blowout win. The 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .288/.322/.485 with 16 homers, 51 RBI, and seven steals across 332 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:48 pm
       
    • Evan Phillips blows save in loss against Tigers
      Evan Phillips allowed two runs to blow the save opportunity against the Tigers on Saturday.

      Advice: After Ricky Vanasco allowed two runs and failed to record an out in the ninth, Phillips was summoned to try to close it out with a runner on second and a three-run lead. He got two quick outs on a groundout and a strikeout before Carson Kelly singled to drive in a run. Colt Keith followed with a game-tying two-run blast. Phillips would finally get out of the inning with the game tied to go to extras. It was just the second blown save of the season for the 29-year-old right-hander. Rotoworld Today, 1:25 pm

It’ll be William Contreras taking a turn at designated hitter. The 32-year-old veteran outfielder is batting .327 (84-for-257) with 11 homers, 41 RBI and 21 stolen bases through 69 games.

    • Cristopher Sánchez added to NL All-Star roster
      Cristopher Sánchez has been added to the National League’s All-Star Game roster.

      Advice: Sánchez, who is replacing Braves ace Chris Sale, becomes the eighth Phillies player on the senior circuit’s roster, which matches an all-time record. The 27-year-old southpaw, who finalized a long-term contract extension last month with Philadelphia, earns his first trip to the Midsummer Classic after posting a sparkling 2.96 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 87/28 K/BB ratio over 103 1/3 innings (18 starts).
