Nick Maton - Sent down SundayMaton was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ImpactMaton had been out of the lineup in seven of the last eight games, and he should get more consistent at-bats in the minors. During his time with the major-league club, the 24-year-old hit .252 with two home runs, 10 runs and eight RBI across 39 games.

Austin Voth - Diagnosed with broken noseVoth has been diagnosed with a broken nose after being hit in the face by a pitch and forced to exit his Sunday start against the Phillies, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post r...
ImpactVoth was tabbed to make a spot start with Stephen Strasburg landing on the injured list with a neck injury. The right-hander was removed in the third inning after a Vince Velasquez fastball hit him in the face during his at-bat. Manager Davey Martinez said that Voth will stay in Philadelphia on Sunday night to get his nose reset. It's unclear how the nose issue will affect his availability going forward and whether or not he'll require an IL stint.

Cristopher Sánchez - Called up, makes debutThe Phillies recalled Sanchez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Sunday's 12-6 loss to the Nationals. He made his MLB debut out of the bullpen, covering 1.1 scoreless innings whi...
ImpactPhiladelphia placed long reliever Chase Anderson on the COVID-19-related injured list in a corresponding move. Sanchez entered the contest while the Phillies were already trailing by six runs, so he's seemingly being viewed as a low-leverage reliever or mop-up man while he's up with the big club.

David Hale - Heads to COVID-19 ILThe Phillies placed Hale on the COVID-19-related injured list prior to Sunday's game against the Nationals.
ImpactLong reliever Chase Anderson was also added to the COVID IL, but the Phillies didn't specify whether the two pitchers were moved to the list due to testing positive for the virus. Since making a spot start May 20 in place of Vince Velasquez, Hale has made only one appearance out of the Philadelphia bullpen. He'll likely be ticketed for low-leverage relief duty once he's reinstate from the IL.
