Gibson, Familia Struggle as Cubs Rout Phillies The Philadelphia Phillies opened the second half with a loss against the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
JULY 23, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Christopher Morel - Tallies three hits, three runs Morel went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 15-2 win over the Phillies.
Impact No. 9 hitters don't typically bat five times in a game, but the Chicago outburst gave Morel plenty of chances, and the rookie delivered. He's now up to a strong .827 OPS across 56 games to go along with nine home runs and eight stolen bases. As long as Morel continues to see regular playing time, he should remain a decent fantasy asset with upside due to his power and speed potential.
JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nelson Velazquez - Blasts two home runs Friday Velazquez went 2-for-2 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 15-2 win over the Phillies.
Impact It's an impressive stat line, especially considering Velazquez didn't enter the game until the eighth inning, when he pinch hit for Rafael Ortega. The former proceeded to hit a two-run home run, and an inning later, he hit a three-run shot. Velazquez doubled his season home run total in the process and nearly doubled his RBI total, which was six before Friday. The 23-year-old is still primarily a bench player at this point, though he's shown flashes of promise during his rookie campaign.
JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Willson Contreras - Homers in rout Contreras went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, a solo home run and two runs scored in Friday's 15-2 win over the Phillies.
Impact Contreras had two of the Cubs' 19 hits in the easy win. The catcher now has 14 home runs, which is second on the team to Patrick Wisdom, to go along with a solid .843 OPS. With Chicago sitting at just 36-57, the veteran Contreras remains a likely trade candidate before the upcoming deadline. The Cubs moved all of Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez before the deadline last year, leaving Contreras, Jason Heyward and Kyle Hendricks as the lone remaining players from the 2016 championship squad.
JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ian Happ - Singles four times Happ went 4-for-6 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 15-2 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Happ knocked an RBI single during the Cubs' six-run fifth inning followed by another in the eighth. Over his previous nine games, the 27-year-old was hitting just .206 with one multi-hit performance. Friday's big outing improved his season slash line to .281/.369/.448 with 44 RBI and 42 runs scored through 91 games.
JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Seiya Suzuki - Reaches base five times Suzuki went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 15-2 win over the Phillies.
Impact Suzuki already had a solid day before he added a two-run shot in the ninth inning of Friday's blowout victory. In 14 games since returning from the injured list, the 27-year-old is slashing .400/.444/.600 with seven RBI and four extra-base hits. Suzuki is up to seven home runs with five steals, 25 runs scored and an .845 OPS through 217 plate appearances this season.
JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Steele - Picks up fourth win Steele (4-6) yielded one run on four hits and four walks over five innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a win over the Phillies.
Impact Steele served up a solo homer to Kyle Schwarber on his first pitch of the night. He put seven more Phillies on base but held them off the board for the rest of his outing. Since the start of June, Steele is 3-1 with a 2.85 ERA through eight outings; he's allowed two or fewer runs in six of those. The 27-year-old southpaw will carry a 4.02 ERA into his expected start in San Francisco next week.
