Buddy Kennedy - Moves up to big club The Phillies recalled Kennedy from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Impact After the Phillies acquired him from the Tigers on June 7, Kennedy was optioned to Lehigh Valley, with whom he produced a .961 OPS over 254 plate appearances before getting a call-up Monday. He'll provide the Phillies with an extra right-handed bat off the bench while Weston Wilson (personal) is away from the team while on paternity leave.

Max Lazar - Rejoins big club The Phillies recalled Lazar from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Impact Philadelphia optioned Lazar to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club two days later since outfielder Weston Wilson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in the a corresponding move. Lazar will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever while he's up with the Phillies.

Weston Wilson - Goes on paternity list The Phillies placed Wilson on the paternity list Monday.
Impact Wilson will be away from the Phillies for between one and three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. The 29-year-old has been with the Phillies since being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on July 12 and has produced a 1.017 OPS over 54 plate appearances at the big-league level this season while primarily operating as a short-side platoon player.

Kolby Allard - Returns to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Allard to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Impact Infielder Buddy Kennedy will join the Phillies' active roster as a replacement for Allard, who was summoned from Lehigh Valley to make a spot start Sunday. Allard scooped up a win while limiting the Royals to two runs over five innings, and he now owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB over 18 innings. Though he'll head back to the minors, Allard's solid performance at the big-league level this season likely puts him ahead of Tyler Phillips and Kyle Tyler for a promotion if a rotation spot with the Phillies opens up again at some point.

Kyle Schwarber - Drives in three runs Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Royals.
Impact Schwarber's RBI double in the third inning brought in the first run of the game. He came around to score on an Alec Bohm single and later drove in another pair of runs. Schwarber had gone 13 straight games without multiple hits but has now done so in back-to-back games. He's produced an .868 OPS with 12 extra-base hits this month. Schwarber owns an .845 OPS with 45 extra-base knocks and 82 RBI through 119 games this season.

Garrett Stubbs - Knocks four hits Stubbs went 4-for-4 with a triple, a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
Impact Stubbs tripled and scored in the third inning before doubling in a run and scoring again in the sixth. He capped off his big day in the eighth inning with a single and another run scored. It was Stubbs' first multi-hit performance since July 21; in eight games since then, he'd gone 4-for-21 (.190) before breaking the slump Sunday. He's now slashing .216/.310/.281 with six extra-base hits through 158 plate appearances this season.
AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE
Kolby Allard - Picks up win Sunday Allard (2-0) yielded two runs on eight hits over five innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Royals.
Impact Allard made his first MLB appearance since Aug. 8 and delivered his second straight win. He coughed up a pair of solo homers to Bobby Witt and Maikel Garcia but was able to maneuver around the rest of the Royals lineup. Allard has looked solid in his minimal MLB usage this season, posting a 3.50 ERA with a 13:2 K:BB through 18 innings. The Phillies don't have a day off until Sep. 2 so Allard could stick around for another appearance before heading back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

J.T. Realmuto - Getting breather Sunday Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Impact The veteran backstop started the previous five contests and will sit for Sunday's afternoon tilt after a night game Saturday. Realmuto has a .348/.400/.652 slash line with five doubles, three homers, 14 RBI and eight runs in his past 46 at-bats. Garrett Stubbs will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Kolby Allard.

Austin Hays - Not in Sunday's lineup Hays is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Impact Hays started the past two games after being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, and he'll receive Sunday off after going 2-for-8 with a double and an RBI. Brandon Marsh will shift to left field while Johan Rojas receives the nod in center.

Phillies take on the Royals after Stott's 4-hit game
The Philadelphia Phillies take on the Kansas City Royals after Bryson Stott had four hits against the Royals on SaturdayAUGUST 25 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trea Turner - Delivers three hits in win Turner went 3-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Turner had gone 0-for-16 over his previous four games before snapping the slump in a big way Saturday. All three of his hits were singles in this contest, but he also delivered multiple RBI for the third time in his last 14 games. The shortstop got his batting average back over .300 -- he's hitting .302 with an .810 OPS, 14 home runs, 46 RBI, 67 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 88 contests this season.
AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE
Bryson Stott - Perfect at plate Saturday Stott went 4-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Royals.
Impact Stott has hit safely in eight of his last 11 games, going 12-for-38 (.316) in that span, though just two of those have been multi-hit efforts. The second baseman has also been lacking in terms of run production, as he has just four RBI over 18 contests in August. For the season, he's at a .243/.315/.358 slash line with nine home runs, 47 RBI, 56 runs scored and 25 stolen bases through 118 games. Stott has seen a reduced role versus left-handed pitchers this year, with Edmundo Sosa often taking over at second base against southpaws.
