Kyle Schwarber - Reaches 20-homer markSchwarber went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

ImpactSchwarber opened the scoring with a solo shot on the fourth pitch from Hogan Harris. In the fifth, Schwarber added an RBI single. The outfielder collected his first three-hit game of the season, and he's now batting .254 (17-for-67) with seven homers and 14 RBI in June. For the season, he's at a .187/.332/.455 slash line with 20 long balls, 41 RBI, 43 runs scored and no stolen bases through 72 contests. It's a recurring theme for Schwarber to get hot in the middle of the campaign, and it looks like 2023 is no different.

Yunior Marte - Snares saveMarte struck out the side in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

ImpactCraig Kimbrel had pitched three of the last four days, likely making him unavailable Sunday. The Phillies opted to let Jose Alvarado take the heart of the Athletics' order, while Marte faced the 8-9-1 batters to secure the save, which was the first of his major-league career. Marte's 6.89 ERA doesn't tell the whole story -- he's kept runs off the board in 13 of 17 appearances, but he's given up multiple runs in each of the other four outings. He also has a 1.60 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings this season, though he shouldn't be expected to see many additional high-leverage looks.

Zack Wheeler - Tosses six scoreless inningsWheeler (6-4) earned the win Sunday over the Athletics, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out four over six scoreless innings.

ImpactWheeler's been very strong over his last three starts, allowing just two runs (one earned) on 11 hits and four walks with 19 strikeouts in 19.1 innings in that span. This was his second win in a row, though Sunday's outing was also the first time since April 23 that he's walked multiple batters. The veteran right-hander is at a 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 98:20 K:BB through 88 innings across 15 starts this season. Wheeler is lined up to make his next start at home versus his old team, the Mets.

Cristopher Sánchez - On track for next startSanchez is dealing with some soreness in his left hand but is expected to make his next turn through the rotation Friday versus the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer...

ImpactThe 26-year-old exited Saturday's outing in Oakland after being struck by a comebacker, but he appears to have avoided a notable injury with X-rays coming back negative. The Phillies have a scheduled day off Monday, so Sanchez could also be pushed back in the rotation a couple days without the team needing to add another starter.

Aledmys Díaz - Not starting SundayDiaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

ImpactDiaz started four of the past five games at shortstop and should continue to see plenty of starts there with Kevin Smith (back) recently landing on the injured list, but Tyler Wade will receive the nod for Sunday's series finale.
