"He's been through the wringer this year, on and off the field," Bryce Harper said of Bohm.

After burning Zack Wheeler, the Phillies had to figure out a pitching plan for Game 1. Luzardo delivered. But the late clinch proved costly.

The options for the Phillies’ final roster spots reflect poor depth in Triple A worsened by a spate of injuries.

Justin Crawford, Andrew Painter and Alex McFarlane soaked up the clubhouse celebrations after the Phillies' postseason-clinching win.

Now, as the Phillies have said all week, it is time to turn the page. This could be their last chance to do so.

"I could be the bat boy," Luzardo said. "Whatever they ask of me, I’ll do. I just want to win."

It started with Brandon Marsh, who had just five hits in 17 September games before Tuesday, when he hit a two-run homer and a double.

Aroon Escobar, who had a home run in a 12-run inning Tuesday, has become an offensive asset, and more.

After scoring just seven runs across 18 innings their first two days in Atlanta, they exploded for seven in one inning during Sunday's win.

The Phillies will need Luzardo to anchor one of the sport's top rotations if they hope to make a deep run in October.

An injury to Luzardo, whatever its degree, with the postseason approaching would be cause for serious concern.

Fundamental lapses on the basepaths are still haunting the Phillies as October nears.

Luzardo had never thrown in the ninth inning in his career before Monday's 109-pitch masterpiece. His sweeper has changed everything.

Bohm's lawsuit alleged his parents committed financial impropriety while running LLCs on his behalf.

For the last two years with Luke Murton atop the farm system, inconsistent leadership created uneven communication, team sources said.

The delivery, minor adjustments, renewed confidence and “rip it” mentality are all working for Painter since he rejoined the Phillies.

The Phillies announced a series of personnel changes, most notably promoting farm director Luke Murton to serve as assistant GM.

The Phillies' improved defense and Justin Crawford's under-the-radar rise are among the reasons Philly is in good shape in the NL East.

Schwarber's power numbers tailed off in July but have picked up in August. He has a four-homer lead over the next closest hitter in MLB.

Wheeler's ERA in August is well above 7 after he couldn't get out of the fifth on Monday night against the Mariners.

Stott's more selective approach has paid off at the plate and he's shined in the field after the post-deadline defensive shuffle.

The offense has taken a jump this month, posting a .780 OPS in August compared with .686 in July.

"Zack's not one of the guys I worry about," interim manager Don Mattingly said. "He's been Zack Wheeler for a long time."

As their time to make a move in the NL playoff race grows shorter, the Phillies are operating with a lot more urgency.

The day is special for players, fans and residents alike. “There’s just an aura about this place everybody acknowledges when you get here.”

After two-plus months of playing hair-on-fire baseball, the Phillies have slowed to a crawl. They ended Wednesday outside of a playoff spot.

The 0-for-15 stretch is just the third of Arraez's career, and his worst since going 0-for-16 in August 2021.
