Bryson Stott - Sets career-high with 32nd theft Stott went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-6 win over the Cubs.

Impact Stott set the tone early in this one, ripping a two-run double in the opening frame to extend the Phillies lead to 3-0. Stott set a new career-high with his 32nd stolen base of the season in the seventh inning, besting last year's total of 31. The 26-year-old speedster owns a modest .246 average with 11 home runs, 56 RBI and 65 runs scored with 32 steals in 35 attempts in 145 games.

Nick Castellanos - Homers, scores three times Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Castellanos helped the Phillies clinch a first-round bye and home-field in the NLDS with his big performance tonight. Castellanos belted his 30th double of the season in the opening frame before launching a solo home run off Javier Assad in the third inning to give the Phillies a 4-0 advantage. Castellanos is currently riding a seven-game hitting streak, batting .500 with five extra-base hits, five RBI and seven runs scored during that stretch. The 32-year-old has played in all 159 contests for the Phillies this season, slashing .253/.310/.428 with 23 home runs, 86 RBI and 79 runs scored.

Cristopher Sánchez - Mediocre in no-decision Sanchez came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's win over the Cubs, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out four in 4.2 innings.

Impact Sanchez was cruising until Nico Hoerner got a hold of one for a three-run blast in the fourth inning. Sanchez was pulled with two outs in the fifth after surrendering an RBI single, leaving him one out shy of earning his 12th win. The 27-year-old finishes his breakout season with a robust 3.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 153:44 K:BB in 181.2 innings (31 starts), setting career highs in wins, ERA and strikeouts. Although he did not have his best stuff tonight, Sanchez appears primed for the playoffs -- the southpaw posted a 1.80 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB in four September starts (25 innings) prior to Wednesday.

Johan Rojas - Out of lineup, likely to lose work Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Rojas had started in each of the Phillies' last five games, but he may fade into more of a fourth-outfielder role heading into the postseason after Austin Hays returned from the injured list Tuesday. Hays, Brandon Marsh and Nick Castellanos will likely represent the Phillies' preferred outfield trio against right-handed pitching, though Rojas could replace the left-handed-hitting Marsh in the lineup when Philadelphia opposes lefties.

Alec Bohm - Getting Wednesday off Bohm is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Bohm appears to be receiving a routine day off after he had started each of the Phillies' last seven games following his return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 15. Kody Clemens will fill in for Bohm at third base Wednesday.

Devin Saltiban - Flirts with 20/20 season Saltiban slashed .237/.346/.428 with 17 home runs and 22 steals in 97 games for Single-A Clearwater.

Impact A third-round pick last year out of a high school in Hawaii, Saltiban didn't wow with his impact (23.9 Hard%) or bat-to-ball ability (70.1 Contact%), but he flirted with a 20/20 season as an age-appropriate prospect making his full-season debut. Saltiban is only about 5-foot-10, but he's a plus runner and has a chance to be a plus defensive second baseman.

J.T. Realmuto - Receiving Tuesday off Realmuto is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The Phillies clinched the NL East title with a win over the Cubs on Monday, but Realmuto's absence from the lineup Tuesday likely has more to do with the fact that he started the previous five games. Garrett Stubbs will do the catching for opener Tanner Banks.
