Ronald Torreyes - Picks up fifth straight startTorreyes will start at shortstop and bat eighth Tuesday against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ImpactStarting for the fifth game in a row, Torreyes seems to have supplanted Nick Maton as the primary option at shortstop while Didi Gregorius (elbow) is on the 10-day injured list. Torreyes is batting an excellent .306 through his first 39 plate appearances, but he hasn't produced many meaningful counting stats (six RBI, two runs, zero home runs, zero stolen bases).

Brad Miller - Serving as main Harper replacementMiller will start in right field and bat fifth Tuesday against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ImpactMiller appears to have solidified a spot in Philadelphia's everyday lineup; he'll be making his 10th consecutive start Tuesday, including his third in a row in right field. The veteran owns a strong .834 OPS over 116 plate appearances on the season, and he should be a decent source of power production for fantasy managers while Bryce Harper (forearm) is on the injured list.

Andrew Knapp - Shifts to No. 2 roleKnapp is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
ImpactKnapp's time as the Phillies' top catcher came to an end Saturday, when J.T. Realmuto (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. When healthy, Realmuto is expected to handle one of the heaviest workloads among all catchers, so Knapp will be lucky to get more than one start behind the plate per week moving forward.

Matt Moore - Makes rehab appearanceMoore (back) tossed three scoreless innings for Triple-A Columbus in a rehab start Saturday. He gave up a hit and no walks while striking out five in the 41-pitch outing.
ImpactMoore looks like he'll be in store for a brief stay on the 10-day injured list, but the Phillies may want to see him get in one more tune-up outing in the minors before activating him. The southpaw is expected to fill a long-relief role for Philadelphia once he's reinstated from the IL.

Cionel Pérez - Back with RedsPerez was recalled by the Reds on Tuesday.
ImpactThis will mark Perez's fourth stint with the Reds this season. He has logged 15.2 innings across 17 major-league appearances so far this season, posting a 7.47 ERA and 1.85 WHIP while punching out 13. He'll look to find better results in the majors this time around. Max Schrock was moved to the 10-day IL with a left calf strain in a corresponding roster move.
