Burdened by medication side effects Gregorius has been experiencing occasional low energy levels and muscle weakness as a result of the medication he's been taking to combat his pseudogout condition in his elbow, Sco...

Impact The shortstop said "some days, I will feel like I don't have anything because of the pills and everything I'm taking for this." The 31-year-old went on to note that doctors are instructing him to continue taking the medication because they are worried that the painful swelling in his right elbow will reemerge if he stops. While the Phillies haven't directly commented on how Gregorius' role may change going forward, his current physical state could lead to Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) and Ronald Torreyes handling a greater chunk of the shortstop reps during the season's closing months.

Breaks out slump Gregorius went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Impact The veteran shortstop entered this game on a 2-for-22 slump but ended that woeful stretch in a big way, contributing with three of the team's runs and posting just his fourth multi-hit game since May 4. Gregorius chipped in with a two-run single in the seventh and later added a sac fly that scored J.T. Realmuto in the eighth. He's still struggling of late but this game should undoubtedly be a confidence booster for the 31-year-old.
