Jonathan Bowlan - Steps up for first save Bowlan secured the save against the Cardinals on Monday, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact The Phillies likely didn't have Jhoan Duran available after the closer worked Saturday and Sunday, but Bowlan filled in effectively Monday with his first save in four attempts this year. Bowlan, who has turned in five consecutive scoreless outings, has been reliable out of the Philadelphia bullpen in 2026, posting a 2.74 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 53:10 K:BB with eight holds over 42.2 innings.

Andrew Painter - Takes no-hit bid into sixth inning Painter (2-8) earned the win against the Cardinals on Monday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact Painter was authoring the finest start of his young career before starting to show signs of fatigue, carrying a no-hit bid into the sixth inning. It was still an encouraging performance despite St. Louis' two-run sixth frame, as the right-hander has now yielded two runs or fewer in three straight starts since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Painter will be looking to build on Monday's showing over the weekend in Minnesota, where he'll bring a 6.27 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 69:31 K:BB over 80.1 innings for the Phillies.

Carson DeMartini - Back in action at Double-A DeMartini (wrist) has gone 3-for-13 with a solo home run, three walks, four stolen bases and three runs in four games for Double-A Reading since being reinstated from the 7-day inj...

Impact Before returning to action for Reading last week, DeMartini had been out of commission for nearly three months due to a left wrist sprain. The 23-year-old infielder has posted a .798 OPS with five home runs and 10 steals over 28 games at the Double-A level in 2026.

Bryce Harper - In lineup despite sore knee Harper is in the designated hitter spot Monday in St. Louis due to nagging knee soreness that's worsened since he moved to right field, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Impact The soreness is not bad enough to prevent Harper from playing, but it's possible his time in the outfield will be limited until the discomfort goes away. Derek Hill is playing right field and Kyle Schwarber is getting a start at first base for the Phillies in Monday's series opener.

Edmundo Sosa - Filling in for resting Turner Sosa will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Sosa will pick up his first start in a week, stepping into a spot in the middle infield in place of a resting Trea Turner. The 30-year-old has seen most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching this season, but he'll draw a rare start against a righty (Hunter Dobbins) in the series opener in St. Louis.

Alec Bohm - Resting up Monday Bohm is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Bohm drew two walks and recorded two base hits Sunday against the Blue Jays, but after playing all 12 innings of the Phillies' 7-6 win, he'll be given a breather as Philadelphia opens up a three-game set in St. Louis. Kyle Schwarber will step in at first base in place of Bohm, who has gotten on base in each of his first eight starts of August.

J.T. Realmuto - Night off Monday Realmuto is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Realmuto will be one of three Phillies regulars on the bench for the series opener in St. Louis, as shortstop Trea Turner and first baseman Alec Bohm will also get the evening off. Garrett Stubbs will check in for Realmuto behind the plate and will bat ninth.

Trea Turner - Resting up Monday Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Turner will head to the bench for the first time since July 8 in what appears to be a planned rest day. Edmundo Sosa will receive the starting nod at shortstop in place of Turner, who has been running hot at the plate since the All-Star break with a .298/.337/.585 slash line, seven home runs, one stolen base, 18 runs and 14 RBI in 22 games.

Derek Hill - Picking up start Monday Hill (shoulder) will start in right field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Hill made an early departure from Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Nationals due to a right shoulder contusion, but the Phillies never viewed the injury as a major concern. The Phillies made the veteran outfielder available off the bench for each of their ensuing four games, with Hill making an appearance as a pinch runner Friday and then going 1-for-4 with an RBI and playing seven innings in center field after subbing in for Justin Crawford during Sunday's contest. With Hill's shoulder checking out fine, he'll now enter the starting nine for Monday's series opener while Bryce Harper gets a day off from playing in right field but sticks in the lineup at designated hitter.

Chase Shugart - Summoned to big leagues The Phillies recalled Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll rejoin the Philadelphia bullpen as a replacement for Caleb Kilian (oblique), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Shugart has previously had two stints in the majors this season, posting a collective 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB in 38.1 innings. The right-hander is likely to work in a middle-relief role for Philadelphia.

Caleb Kilian - Lands on IL with oblique strain The Phillies placed Kilian on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a left oblique strain, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acquired from the Giants last Monday, Kilian made just four appearances with his new team before hitting the shelf due to the oblique injury, which he sustained on his final pitch of Sunday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays in 12 innings. The Phillies recalled Chase Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to join the bullpen as a replacement for Kilian, who will be eligible for activation Aug. 25 but appears likely to miss more than the minimum 15 days.
