Jordan Romano - Rebounds in scoreless ninth inning Romano allowed one hit during a scoreless ninth inning in Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies. He struck out two.
Impact Although it was not a save situation, it's worth noting Romano was warming up when it was a 4-1 game in the eighth inning before Max Kepler and Nick Castellanos both homered to add some insurance runs. Monday was a strong bounce-back performance for Romano, who gave up two runs while blowing a save on Opening Day against the Nationals. The hard-throwing right-hander's usage also suggests he remains first in line in Philadelphia's bullpen at the moment when it comes to save opportunities.

Nick Castellanos - Tacks on insurance run with homer Castellanos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.
Impact After Philadelphia broke through with a four-run seventh inning, Castellanos went back-to-back with Max Kepler for a couple of solo shots to help tack on some insurance runs in the eighth frame. Through 13 at-bats in the very early stages of the campaign, the veteran slugger is batting .308 with four walks to go with Monday's round-tripper.

Trea Turner - Scores go-ahead run as pinch hitter Turner (back) drew a walk and scored a run as a pinch hitter in Monday's 6-1 win over the Rockies.
Impact Turner hit for the left-handed-hitting Brandon Marsh against Rockies southpaw Scott Alexander, and he then crossed the plate for a go-ahead run on an Edmundo Sosa double in the seventh inning. Although Turner's appearance Monday doesn't necessarily guarantee he'll be back in the lineup for Tuesday's meeting with Colorado, the fact he was healthy enough to enter the contest suggests the star shortstop is nearly fully recovered from back spasms that scratched him from the lineup Saturday against Washington. Prior to Monday's matchup, Turner reported improvement and expressed about returning Wednesday against the Rockies.

Max Kepler - Goes deep in win Kepler went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a double in Monday's win over Colorado.
Impact Kepler doubled in the second inning and gave the Phillies some extra cushion with his solo shot in the eighth. It was his first multi-hit effort of the young 2025 campaign after going 1-for-7 with three walks in the opening series against Washington. Kepler should continue seeing regular playing time against righties as long as the bat stays steady.

Cristopher Sánchez - Fans seven in season debut Sanchez allowed a run on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Monday against the Rockies. He struck out seven during the win.
Impact Sanchez rolled through five shutout frames before Hunter Goodman ended his afternoon with a solo shot in the sixth inning. Sanchez tossed 59 of 93 pitches for strikes and forced 15 whiffs, including 12 on 22 swings against his changeup. He racked up seven or more punchouts in 11 of his 31 regular-season outings during the 2024 campaign. Sanchez is currently in line for a tough home matchup against the Dodgers this weekend.
