Spencer Turnbull - Tarnsferred to 60-day IL The Phillies transferred Turnbull (lat) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Impact The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Tyler Gilbert, whose contract was selected by the Phillies. Turnbull landed on the 15-day injured list June 27 due to a right lat strain. With his transfer to the 60-day IL, he is eligible to return for the start of the Phillies' home series against the Astros on Aug. 26. Should he return to the big club, Turnbull is expected to serve out of Philadelphia's bullpen for the remainder of the season and look to return to the starting rotation in 2025. He has been limited to bullpen sessions since the start of August and has yet to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Tyler Phillips - Optioned by Philadelphia The Phillies optioned Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact After starting his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA and 19:2 K:BB over four outings, Phillips has a 13.91 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across just 11 innings of work in his last three starts. He'll go back down to Triple-A to regain his form, with the Phillies calling up Tyler Gilbert from Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Tyler Gilbert - Promoted to big club The Phillies recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Gilbert was acquired by the Phillies from the Reds back in May. Across his 26 outings with Lehigh Valley this season, he's registered six saves with a 2.45 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 45:6 K:BB across 33 innings. Tyler Phillips was optioned to Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Brandon Marsh - Continues to sit vs. southpaws Marsh is absent from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals.
Impact Southpaw MacKenzie Gore is starting Saturday, which marks the third straight game a left-hander has started for the Nationals. Marsh will begin the contest in the dugout while Weston Wilson and Johan Rojas start in left and center field, respectively.

Bryson Stott - Idle vs. southpaw Stott is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Washington.
Impact The lefty-hitting Stott will take a seat Saturday with the Nationals sending left-hander MacKenzie Gore to the mound. Edmundo Sosa will start at second base and bat eighth.

Carlos Estévez - Blows first save for Phillies Estevez (2-4) blew the save but picked up the win in Friday's 3-2 victory over the Nationals, giving up two runs on three hits in the ninth inning. He struck out two.
Impact The right-hander entered the game with Philadelphia ahead 2-0, but he gave up three straight singles to open the ninth before a Jacob Young fielder's choice tied it up. Estevez was able to right the ship and get off the mound without any further damage, and Trea Turner then walked it off in the bottom of the frame. Estevez has been effective since coming over from the Angels at the trade deadline, posting a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB through 8.2 innings, but he has only one win and one save in eight appearances.

Aaron Nola - Denied 12th win Nola came away with a no-decision in Friday's 3-2 win over the Nationals, allowing seven hits and two walks over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Impact The veteran righty got stronger as the game wore on and didn't let a runner get past second base after the first inning, and Nola left the mound after 111 pitches (74 strikes) with the Phillies out front 2-0. He had to settle for his 16th quality start of the season when Carlos Estevez blew the save in the ninth, however. Nola has gone six straight starts without getting into the win column, and his strikeouts have dried up at the same time -- during that stretch, he's posted a 3.67 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB through 34.1 innings. Fatigue isn't likely to be a factor for the 31-year-old -- he's topped 200 innings three times in his career, and has tossed only 154 so far in 2024 -- but the Phillies may look to work some extra rest into his schedule given their comfortable lead in the NL East. Nola is currently scheduled to make his next outing on the road next week in Atlanta.

Jeff Hoffman - Earns another hold Hoffman earned his 17th hold of the season Friday against the Nationals, facing two batters and earning one popout and one strikeout.
Impact The Phillies have had a fluid approach to the ninth inning this season, though Hoffman at one point appeared to be moving into something close to a true closer's role, earning a save in fourth straight appearances from June 30 through July 10. He hasn't earned a save since then, though the Phillies as a team have just two in that time, with one going to Matt Strahm and the other to new acquisition Carlos Estevez. Estevez seems to be the committee leader at the moment, but he blew a save on Friday and has now allowed at least one run in four of his eight appearances for his new team, so there's no guarantee he gets the next chance.

Alec Bohm - Launches three-run shot Bohm went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Thursday's win over the Nationals.
Impact Bohm got the Phillies on the board with a three-run homer off Mitchell Parker in the opening frame and was immediately followed by a second long ball off the bat of Nick Castellanos. It marked the third baseman's 13th home run of the campaign and his second in August, where he's now batting .309 (17-for-55) with 11 RBI and seven runs scored. Bohm has also hit safely in 15 of his last 16 contests.
