José Ruiz - Notches first save of career Ruiz allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning against the Nationals to pick up his first save of the season. He struck out two.
Impact Ruiz was extremely shaky in his first save opportunity of 2024, loading the bases with zero out before uncorking a pair of clutch strikeouts. He induced a Juan Yepez flyout to end the threat and pick up the first save of his eight-year career. The 29-year-old veteran was a serviceable bullpen arm for Philadelphia this season, logging a 3.71 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 52:17 K:BB in 51 innings, adding five wins, zero holds, and one save.

Aaron Nola - Notches 14th victory in finale Nola (14-8) picked up the win Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three earned runs on nine hits and zero walks while striking out seven in five innings.
Impact Nola did not save his best for last, surrendering a leadoff home run to Luis Garcia in the opening frame, one of nine hits allowed by the veteran. Nola effectively worked around the traffic on the basepaths, however, limiting the Nationals to just three runs to pick up his 14th win of the season. The 31-year-old Nola was his steady, dependable self yet again for fantasy managers in 2024, pitching to a 3.57 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 197:50 K:BB in 199.1 innings (fifth in MLB). Excluding the COVID-shortened 2020 season, Nola has started 32 or more games in every season since 2018. During that span, he leads MLB in both starts (208) and innings pitched (1264.2), making him one of the most reliable starting pitchers in fantasy.

Austin Hays - Not in Sunday's lineup Hays (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Hays will sit for the regular-season finale as he continues to battle back soreness, but he could be available off the bench for Sunday's contest. Kody Clemens will start in left field and bat seventh.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
J.T. Realmuto - Sitting Sunday Realmuto is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Nationals.
Impact Realmuto will rest for the Phillies' regular-season finale as Garrett Stubbs starts behind home plate and bats ninth. Realmuto will end the regular season with a slash line of .266/.322/.429 with 14 home runs and 47 RBI across 413 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Bryce Harper - Sitting for regular-season finale Harper is absent from Sunday's lineup against Washington.
Impact Harper will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout as Alec Bohm starts at first base and bats fifth. Unless Harper pinch hits, he'll end the regular season with a slash line of .285/.373/.525 with seven stolen bases, 30 home runs and 87 RBI across 631 plate appearances.

Tyler Gilbert - Sent down Sunday Gilbert was optioned to the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.
Impact Gilbert logged a 3.24 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and four strikeouts in 8.1 innings across six appearances for the big club. He was unlikely to be used Sunday, so the Phillies opted to summon a bench bat (Buddy Kennedy) for the final game of the regular season.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Buddy Kennedy - Back in majors Kennedy was recalled from the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.
Impact He is not in Sunday's lineup against the Nationals, but Kennedy will serve as a capable righty bench bat with Austin Hays (back) banged up. Kennedy, who turns 26 next week, has played sparingly in the majors and slashed .294/.400/.500 with 10 home runs in 300 plate appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Zack Wheeler - Strikes out 11 in no-decision Wheeler did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with 11 strikeouts over 6.1 innings.
Impact Wheeler was his usual dominant self other than surrendering a two-run homer in the sixth inning, but the Phillies' offense didn't score a run until the eighth. The NL Cy Young candidate finished the regular season strong, yielding only 15 earned runs over 11 consecutive quality starts. He'll finish the year with a 2.57 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 224:52 K:BB while compiling 200 innings for the first time in his career.
