About this episode
The Phillies lost two of three this weekend in Atlanta, but they still have an eight-game lead in the NL East. Also, help is on the way. Kyle Schwarber will be activated from the injured list before Tuesday night’s series opener against the Dodgers. There is a chance Bryce Harper is activated, too. If not Tuesday, then perhaps before the end of the series. Ruben, Jim and Todd talk about getting Schwarber and Harper back before the break. The Phillies have a franchise-record seven players going to the All-Star Game in Texas: Harper, Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strahm. There were some emotional reactions in the clubhouse when Rob Thomson announced those names. Which selections jumped out to the guys? J.T. Realmuto comes back after the All-Star break. Who goes to Triple-A? Garrett Stubbs or Rafael Marchán? Michael Mercado struggled Sunday. Who starts Saturday: Mercado or Tyler Phillips, the local kid who dazzled in his debut on Sunday?
