What is the story about?
No
starter named as of yet for tonight’s game, but I’ll bet that we see Alan Rangel throw some bulk innings for the team with Kyle Backhus returning to open the game and face James Wood.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- To hit for the cycle on Saturday, Bryce Harper used a heavier bat in batting practice. It sure did help him.
- The Phillies can make all the trades they want. Their success from here on out is going to depend on Trea Turner ($).
MLB news:
- The Rangers have been playing well lately, but they’ll be down a starter with Jack Leiter going to the injured list.
- Tarik Skubal is probably going to be traded this deadline, so what they’ll want in return is starting to become clearer.
- The Marlins designated Christopher Morel for assignment to clear roster spots. Maybe someone to consider on a minor league deal?
