SPORTS NEWS
- ➤ The Phillies lost by a score of 5 to 2 to the Brewers on June 1 at Citizens Bank Park after a Trea Turner error allowed extra outs that led to a come-from-behind sweep. Manager Rob Thomson said the team will address defensive issues during a six-game road trip starting with Toronto tomorrow—hoping to correct the mistakes for upcoming games. Metro Philadelphia
- ➤ Despite a three-game losing streak in May, the Philadelphia Phillies finished with a 19-9 record at Citizens Bank Park—Schwarber and Bohm led the offense while the starting rotation kept ERAs low. The team now faces challenges with Jose Alvarado’s 80-game suspension and injuries to Nola and Harper as they prepare for a road trip and additional series in June. Metro Philadelphia
- ➤ The Phillies moved Walker to the bullpen and recalled Abel to start Thursday’s series finale in Toronto — they also brought up Johnson and designated Ruiz for assignment. The team said Harper will return Tuesday to help the lineup. Metro Philadelphia
- ➤ Since Jose Alvarado's 80-game suspension, the Phillies have reshuffled their bullpen and are weighing the low-risk option of adding former draft pick Joe Mantiply—who is posting a high ERA— to replace a left-handed arm. The potential move aims to bolster their bullpen depth as the team continues to adjust its roster. Metro Philadelphia
