Phillies news:
- Aaron Nola took a ball off of his knee Saturday night and had to leave his start, but it looks like he’ll be fine after x-rays were negative.
- Alec Bohm’s day off was preplanned and not the result of poor play. The team is taking a cautious approach with Bryce Harper’s defense ($).
- If you didn’t read it, this was a great game story about the Phillies game on Friday night ($).
MLB news:
- The Athletics fired their general manager on Friday, not long after letting him negotiate several long term extensions.
- Reportedly, the Brewers were willing to include Luis Pena in talks for Tarik Skubal, talks that never got finalized.
