PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES NEWS

J.T. Realmuto - Expected back Friday Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that he expects Realmuto (knee) to return to the lineup Friday versus the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Realmuto remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Rays and will end up getting a full week off as he recovers from a left knee contusion, an injury that he suffered when he fouled a ball off himself last Friday in Miami. Fortunately for Realmuto, follow-up tests revealed no structural damage to the knee, but the Phillies will continue to hold him out for a couple more days while he waits for the swelling to calm down. Garrett Stubbs and Aramis Garcia have been holding down the fort at catcher while Realmuto has been out of action.

Kyle Schwarber - Scratched from lineup due to elbow The Phillies scratched Schwarber from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays while he continues to experience soreness in his left elbow, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Schwarber was removed in the fourth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 win, after he looked to have injured his elbow while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt the inning prior. Though the Phillies initially penciled Schwarber into the lineup Wednesday, manager Rob Thomson said that the designated hitter is still experiencing soreness in his elbow when he swings. The Phillies have Thursday off, so the club is seemingly hopeful that Schwarber will be ready to serve as the DH in Friday's series opener versus the Mets after two full days of rest.

Kyle Schwarber - Cleared to start Wednesday Schwarber (elbow) will bat leadoff as the Phillies' designated hitter in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Schwarber was pulled from Tuesday's 9-4 win in the fourth inning, after he had previously appeared to have hurt his elbow an inning earlier when he retreated to first base on a pickoff attempt. His inclusion in the lineup a day later likely suggests that his removal was precautionary, so fantasy managers in leagues with daily lineup moves shouldn't have many qualms about keeping the slugger active Wednesday. Schwarber has opened September with a nine-game hitting streak, during which he's slashed a scintillating .417/.463/1.083 with seven home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs.

Trea Turner - Homers twice in win Turner went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Turner put the Phillies ahead 4-2 with his first home run off Taj Bradley in the third inning before cranking another two-run shot off Edwin Uceta in the eighth to cap the Phillies' five-run frame. Turner had gone just 1-for-10 in his previous three games prior to Tuesday's three-hit, four-RBI performance. The shortstop is now slashing .299/.345/.474 across 467 plate appearances this season with 18 homers, 55 RBI, 78 runs scored and 15 stolen bases.

Ranger Suárez - Gives up 12 hits Suarez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Tampa Bay, allowing four runs on 12 hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Impact The 12 hits given up by Suarez are a new season high. The left-hander's been in a rut of late -- he's failed to make it through six innings in seven of his last eight starts, posting a 6.02 ERA in that span. Overall, Suarez is 12-6 on the season with a 3.05 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 134:33 K:BB across 24 starts (138.2 innings). He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week in Milwaukee.

Impact Turnbull threw an up-and-down bullpen session Monday, clearing the way for him to face hitters for the first time since he was diagnosed with a right lat strain in late June. The Phillies aren't giving up hope that Turnbull could make it back later this month as a reliever, but he can't afford any hiccups.
