Aidan Miller

PHI 3rd Baseman

Phillies selected J.W. Mitchell HS (New Port Richey, FL) 3B Aidan Miller with the 27th pick of the 2023 MLB Draft.

Miller was getting hyped as a likely top-five pick coming into the year, but a broken hamate bone slowed him down. He’s also a little older than most high schoolers, having already turned 19 last month. Still, there’s a lot of offensive potential here; ideally, he’ll offer 30-homer power while also hitting for a solid average. He should also be able to stick at third base for the foreseeable future. His older brother, Jackson, was a second-round selection by the Reds from the 2020 draft class.
Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27

Aaron Nola gave up five runs — four earned — in six innings Sunday to take a loss to the Marlins.

Nola gave up three homers for the sixth time in his career. Two of those outings have come in the last two months; before that, it hadn’t happened since July 2019. Nola had great velocity today, and his spin rates were up as well. The Marlins just didn’t seem to care, pounding out 11 hard-hit balls against him. In truth, the outcome could have been quite a bit worse. Nola concludes the first half 8-6 with a 4.39 ERA.
Kyle Schwarber

PHI Left Fielder #12

Kyle Schwarber went hitless against the Marlins on Sunday to finish the first half with a .184 average.

It’s pretty amazing that the Phillies finished the first half seven games over .500, given that Schwarber and Trea Turner have come in well below expectations and Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto have also been mildly disappointing. Schwarber picked it up for a time last month, but he’s hit .159 with a 27/5 K/BB ratio in his last 16 games. A league-average .736 OPS just isn’t cutting it from such a liability on defense.
Jose Alvarado

PHI Relief Pitcher #46

José Alvarado told reporters he is not concerned about inflammation in his left elbow, and only rest is planned at this time.

The 28-year-old missed a month earlier in the season with elbow inflammation, but he said the pain is in a different part of his elbow this time. He plans on just resting and will not have an MRI done and will not receive any type of injection. While this sounds like good news, these injuries have a way of not healing quickly.
Josh Harrison

PHI 2nd Baseman #2

Josh Harrison was scratched prior to Sunday’s game against the Marlins due to right wrist soreness.

Harrison hurt his wrist on Saturday after a slide but wasn’t feeling well enough to go on Sunday. He will be available off the bench, just in case the Phillies need him on Sunday. Brandon Marsh will now make a start in left field and will bat eighth against lefty Jesús Luzardo.
Bryce Harper

PHI Right Fielder #3

Bryce Harper (elbow) is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Marlins.

Harper was removed from Saturday’s affair after being plunked on his surgically-repaired elbow. X-rays came back negative, but the Phillies are taking it easy on their superstar. Kyle Schwarber will serve as the Phillies designated hitter in his absence.
Andrew Bellatti

PHI Relief Pitcher #64

Phillies recall RHP Andrew Bellatti from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Bellatti returns to the Phillies bullpen on Sunday. The 31-year-old struggled out of the gate this season but has pitched well at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He posted a 1.20 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 17 appearances before rejoining the Phillies.
Jose Alvarado

PHI Relief Pitcher #46

Phillies placed LHP José Alvarado on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 7, with left elbow inflammation.

Yikes. Alvarado will head to the injured list for the second time this season with elbow inflammation. He missed a month earlier this season, and it remains to be seen how long the Phillies will lose their lefty reliever for this time. Andrew Bellatti was recalled in a corresponding transaction.
Ranger Suarez

PHI Starting Pitcher #55

Ranger Suárez allowed four runs — three earned — in 5 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Marlins.

Although he might be baseball’s best fielding pitcher, Suárez’s own error — just the second of his career — led to the unearned run. The left-hander had a terrific June, allowing a total of four runs in five starts, but this makes two poor showings in a row against lesser offenses than some of the ones he handled with ease last month (he lost to the Nationals last time out). He’ll likely face the Padres in his first start after the break.
Bryce Harper

PHI Right Fielder #3

Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters after Saturday’s game that X-rays came back negative on the injured left elbow of Bryce Harper.

Thomson said that the 30-year-old superstar is okay and that he’s considered day-to-day. It’s possible that he’ll be held out of Sunday’s lineup as a precautionary measure, but fantasy managers can breathe a major sigh of relief that he’s not looking at any sort of extended absence.
