Player News
Sean Murphy homered and drove in two runs in a loss Thursday to the Phillies in the first game of a doubleheader.
Rafael Marchan drove in three runs while homering in a win over Atlanta in the first game of a doubleheader for the Phillies on Thursday.
Kyle Schwarber hit a solo homer to help the Phillies to a 5-4 win over Atlanta in the first game of a doubleheader on Thursday.
Jordan Romano walked three and gave up a hit but didn’t give up a run while getting a save against Atlanta on Thursday in game one of a doubleheader.
Cristopher Sánchez allowed two runs while striking out six and working 5 2/3 innings to get a win over Atlanta in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Thursday.
Sánchez allowed five hits, and he issued a paid of walks. The southpaw blanked the Atlanta lineup over five innings, but gave up a pair of run-scoring singles in the sixth before exiting. He has allowed more than three runs in just one of his 10 starts, which helps explain a very solid 3.17 ERA over 59 2/3 innings. Sánchez will get Toronto next week if the rotation order doesn’t change.
Yordan Alvarez (hand) is taking batting practice before Thursday’s game against the Athletics.
Alvarez is being watched in BP by general manager Dana Brown and manager Joe Espada. The 27-year-old slugger has been out of action since the start of May with inflammation in his right hand, but it’s a very positive development that he’s able to participate in batting practice. He’ll likely need a rehab assignment, but assuming no setbacks, Alvarez could be back for Houston by the middle of June, possibly sooner.
