Phillies' Taijuan Walker: Coughs up six runs in loss
Walker (1-1) took the loss Monday against San Francisco, allowing six runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out five.
The Philadelphia right-hander finally gave up an earned run, as the Giants plated all six runs in a chaotic second inning that was fueled by four hits, a walk and an error. Despite the less-than-stellar outing, Walker still managed to generate a solid 10 whiffs out of his 99 total pitches. His ERA now stands at 2.30 after 15.2 innings, but his rotation spot is precarious as Ranger Suarez (back) is making rehab starts and likely to return soon. Walker should get at least one more turn in the rotation, which currently lines up to be against Miami at home this weekend.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Multi-day absence expected
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Monday that Marsh will likely be out of the lineup for three straight days as the outfielder receives a mental and physical break, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Marsh hasn't tallied a hit since March 30, so the Phillies will give him some extended rest to regroup. He is out of Monday's lineup and it sounds like the soonest he will be back in action is Thursday. Johan Rojas is patrolling center field Monday and should do so the following two days, as well.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Claiming leadoff spot vs. righties
Stott will start at second base and bat leadoff in Monday's game versus the Giants, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It's the third straight game that Stott has been in the leadoff spot against a right-handed pitcher, as he's being rewarded for his .400 on-base percentage versus righties so far this season. Considering he had been mostly hitting eighth against right-handed pitching, it's a big boost to Stott's fantasy outlook if the change sticks.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Out of lineup against righty
Marsh is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Giants, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Marsh is in a 0-for-26 tailspin at the plate and, as a result, is out of the lineup versus a right-hander for the first time this season. Johan Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth for the Phillies.

Phillies' Zack Wheeler: Takes first loss of season
Wheeler (1-1) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three in six innings in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
Wheeler blanked the Cardinals through three frames, but Willson Contreras was able to open up the scoring with a two-run blast in the fourth. The Cardinals tacked on two more in the sixth with three doubles in the inning. After a hot start to the year, Wheeler has allowed nine runs over his last two starts. His three strikeouts were the fewest in a start since he had two May 12 last year. Sunday was also the first time Wheeler has gone consecutive outings without a quality start since June 25 and July 1 in 2023. The 35-year-old righty is lined up for an excellent bounce back opportunity at home against the Marlins this week.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Excels in first rehab start
Suarez (back) struck out four while giving up one hit and no walks over three innings in his first rehab start Thursday with Single-A Clearwater.
Suarez's first competitive appearance since his March 9 Grapefruit League start against the Orioles went about as well as the Phillies could have hoped; he fired 24 of his 33 pitches for strikes and faced the minimum over three innings while not allowing a ball to leave the infield. He's expected to stick around with Clearwater for his next rehab start Tuesday and will be targeting around four innings and 55 pitches, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Suarez will most likely need at least one more rehab appearance after Tuesday before being deemed ready to return from the 15-day injured list.

Phillies' Matt Strahm: Gives up first run this season
Strahm gave up one run on one hit in one inning Sunday against St. Louis, striking out three.
Strahm threw 15 of his 19 pitches for strikes but struggled with his command, allowing a Yohel Pozo leadoff double to eventually come around to score following a wild pitch. It was the first run Strahm allowed so far this year, so the southpaw should remain Philadelphia's top left-handed setup man while Jose Alvarado works as the primary closer. Through 7.1 innings, Strahm has yielded only four hits, registered a 12:2 K:BB and tallied three holds.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Targeting 55 pitches in rehab start
Suarez (back) is expected to throw around four innings or 55 pitches in his next minor-league rehab start Tuesday with Low-A Clearwater, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Tuesday will mark the second appearance in the minors for Suarez, who completed three scoreless innings in Thursday's rehab start with High-A Clearwater. It's unclear how much time Suarez will spend on his assignment, but fantasy managers can expect the left-hander to return from back stiffness sometime before the end of April at this point. In Suarez's stead, Taijuan Walker has thrown 10.2 scoreless innings over two starts so far this season.

Phillies' Johan Rojas: Getting start Sunday
Rojas will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Rojas will continue to see limited action as the Phillies' fourth outfielder, with most of his opportunities to play coming when Philadelphia goes up against left-handed pitching. He'll enter the lineup for the fourth time this season Sunday while Max Kepler retreats to the bench against Cardinals southpaw Matthew Liberatore.

Phillies' Max Kepler: Idle versus southpaw
Kepler is not in Philadelphia's starting lineup against St. Louis on Sunday.
With left-hander Matthew Liberatore taking the mound for the Cardinals on Sunday, the Phillies will start Brandon Marsh, Johan Rojas and Nick Castellanos in the outfield for the series finale. Kepler went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts in the first two games against St. Louis.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Idle against lefty
Stott is not in the Phillies' starting lineup against the Cardinals on Sunday.
With St. Louis sending southpaw Matthew Liberatore to the mound, Stott will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Edmundo Sosa starts at second base and bats seventh. Stott is slashing .250/.321/.375 with one stolen base, five runs, one home run and six RBI in 53 plate appearances to start the season.

Phillies' Nick Castellanos: Sparks offense in win
Castellanos went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals.
His first-inning two-bagger brought home Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, giving the Phillies all the offense they would need on the afternoon, but Castellanos added another double in the eighth for good measure. It was the second three-hit performance in the last five games for the veteran outfielder, pushing his slash line to .308/.357/.519 through 14 games with two homers and nine RBI.

Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Collects third save
Alvarado struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Cardinals.
The lefty continued his dominant start to the season. Alvarado has only been scored upon in one of his seven appearances so far, racking up two wins and a hold in addition to his saves along with a 1.23 ERA and 13:2 K:BB through 7.1 innings. While the Phillies' bullpen has a long history of volatility, Alvarado is the team's clear top high-leverage option right now.

Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Sharp in first win of 2025
Sanchez (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in a 4-1 victory over the Cardinals. He struck out three.
The southpaw took a shutout into the sixth inning before Luken Baker rapped a one-out double -- the only extra-base hit off Sanchez on the afternoon -- and was brought home by a Willson Contreras single. Sanchez still walked away with his first win and first quality start of the season, having tossed 64 of 95 pitches for strikes. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Giants.
