Alec Bohm - Still out ThursdayBohm (hand) isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against Miami.
ImpactBohm will be missing his sixth consecutive game as a result of inflammation in his left hand. The team still doesn't believe he'll need to spend time on the injured list, though that may change if the 28-year-old doesn't return before the end of the series. Kody Clemens will start at the hot corner Thursday and bat eighth.

Bryce Harper - In Thursday's lineupHarper (elbow) will start at first base and bat third Thursday against the Marlins.
ImpactHarper had to make an early exit from Wednesday's contest after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch, but his bruise won't be enough to prevent him from playing in Thursday's series opener. Over his last 10 games, the 31-year-old slugger has gone 13-for-34 with two RBI and four runs scored.

Cal Stevenson - Up from Triple-AThe Phillies recalled Stevenson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
ImpactWith Austin Hays set to miss at least the next week due to a kidney infection, Stevenson will return to Philadelphia to make up for the lost depth in the Phillies' outfield unit. The 27-year-old has slashed .300/.420/.483 with eight homers and 43 RBI across 393 plate appearances in Triple-A but will likely be limited to a bench role while in the majors.

Austin Hays - Placed on injured listThe Phillies placed Hays on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a kidney infection, retroactive to Sept. 2.
ImpactWhile Hays' infection helps explain why he's sat out both of the Phillies' last two games, it remains unknown if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay on the IL. Cal Stevenson will come up from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster, though Johan Rojas figures to receive the largest increase in playing time while Hays is out.

José Cuas - Cast off 40-man rosterThe Blue Jays designated Cuas for assignment Thursday.
ImpactCuas will end up as the odd man out of Toronto's 40-man roster after the team claimed Emmanuel Ramirez off waivers from Miami on Thursday. The 30-year-old Cuas owns a 7.71 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 16.1 innings between the Cubs and Blue Jays this season, and his minor-league performance hasn't been much better (6.67 ERA through 27 IP).
