J.T. Realmuto - Two homers, seven RBI in rout Realmuto went 3-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBI in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Realmuto had a pair of three-run homers to turn the game into a romp for the Phillies, and he added his seventh RBI on a groundout in the ninth inning. The catcher had hit just one homer over his previous 34 contests, so this was a breakout game a long time in the making. He's batting .277 (18-for-65) in August and is now up to a .262/.320/.413 slash line with 10 homers, 36 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base over 76 games this year.

Ranger Suárez - Earns win in return Suarez (11-5) allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Royals on Saturday.

Impact Suarez missed a month due to back soreness, which partially explains why he posted a 6.67 ERA over 27 innings across his last five starts before heading to the injured list. He was back in strong form Saturday, though he threw just 72 pitches (46 strikes) in the blowout win, earning his first victory since June 8. The southpaw is now at a 2.82 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 122:28 K:BB through 124.1 innings over 21 starts this season. He's lined up for a home start versus Atlanta next week.

Tyler Gilbert - Sent back to minors The Phillies optioned Gilbert to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Gilbert will be pushed off the big-league roster in order to make room for Ranger Suarez (back), who was reinstated off the injured list. The 30-year-old Gilbert gave up one earned run over two innings during his lone appearance Friday, and he owns a 2.45 ERA through 33 frames with Lehigh Valley.

Ranger Suárez - Activated ahead of start The Phillies reinstated Suarez (back) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Suarez landed on the injured list in late July with lower-back soreness, and he'll now return after nearly a month to start Saturday's game against the Royals. He didn't pitch in a rehab game in the minors during his recovery, so there's a good chance he'll be working under some sort of pitch count during his first start since July 22. Tyler Gilbert was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Austin Hays - Collects hit in return Hays went 1-for-4 in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

Impact Getting the start in left field and batting ninth in his return from a hamstring strain, Hays poked a single in the top of the third inning as the Phillies threatened to put together a rally, but the top of the order failed to advance him. The veteran outfielder is slashing .262/.279/.381 in 11 games since being traded from the Orioles, with one homer, two steals, four RBI and five runs for his new club. Hays should reclaim an everyday role for the Phillies now that he's healthy.

Taijuan Walker - Early exit in Friday's loss Walker (3-5) took the loss Friday as the Phillies fell 7-4 to the Royals, coughing up six runs on eight hits and a walk over three innings. He struck out two.

Impact Two-run homers by Salvador Perez in the first inning and Hunter Renfroe in the third accounted for most of the damage off Walker, who failed to complete five innings for the third straight start since coming off the IL. The veteran righty has served up five long balls in 11.2 innings during his swoon, and on the season he's been taken deep 17 times in only 64.2 frames, leading to a bloated 6.26 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. The Phillies' lead in the NL East has slipped to five games over Atlanta, but for now Walker will be given a chance to work through his issues. He lines up to make his next start at home next week against the Astros.
