Trea Turner
PHI • SS • #
Trea Turner went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI on Wednesday against the Rays.
Has Turner’s power finally returned? His 107.8 mph home run was the third hardest ball he’s hit all season and his fourth inning single was hit harder than 100 mph as well. Other than the power, he’s had an excellent season to this point with a .307 batting average and eight stolen bases as a key cog in the heart of the Phillies’ talented lineup.

J.T. Realmuto is day-to-day with a left foot contusion.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters following Realmuto’s early exit from Wednesday’s contest after fouling a ball off his left foot that his level of concern is basically zero before adding that he won’t even need to undergo precautionary X-rays. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern for now.

Cristopher Sánchez allowed just one hit and no runs with three walks and five strikeouts over six innings to earn the win 7-0 over the Rays on Wednesday.
Spotted a huge lead early, Sánchez barely broke a sweat in this quality start and victory against the Rays’ paltry lineup. He didn’t force many swings-and-misses, but the Rays literally didn’t make any dangerous contact all game. Yes, literally: of their 14 balls in play, 12 were hit on the ground and the other two were simple pop-ups. It’s nice that he seems to have put the forearm injury scare of a few weeks ago behind him and he’s scheduled to face the Pirates and Cardinals in what should be nice a two-start week coming up.

Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter will start on Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Painter will make his first start in the upper minors after four outings for Low-A Clearwater to open the season. The 22-year-old is universally-regarded as the top pitching prospect in baseball and is expected to make his major-league debut at some point in the second half of the year.

Trey Sweeney went 4-for-4 and scored two runs in an extra-inning win over the Rockies on Wednesday.
Sweeney also drew a walk, so it was a five-reach game for the 25-year-old shortstop without getting out. The former first-round pick was able to double twice while also drawing a pair of singles on top of the free pass. The 25-year-old has picked up four hits in back-to-back games, and Sweeney’s slash has improved from .206/.292/.304 to .261/.344/.396 in the process.

Jacob Wilson finished 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles as the Athletics’ leadoff man Wednesday.
Wilson supplanted Lawrence Butler today, and it doesn’t seem like he’ll make his way down from the top of the lineup anytime soon, though he could always bat second, rather than first. The four hits today pushed his average up to .357, good for second in the majors. Unfortunately, he did experience a rare strikeout against Andrés Muñoz in his fifth at-bat, ending the game with the tying run on first.
Jeremy Peña

Jeremy Peña had a three-run homer, a double and four RBI as the Astros blasted the Brewers 9-1 on Wednesday.
Before coming through today, Peña hadn’t scored or driven in a run in five games this month. The four-RBI game is his second as a big leaguer, with the other coming in a 17-4 win on July 29, 2023. Moving into the leadoff spot figured to be a boon for his fantasy value, but it hasn’t really worked out that way so far. For one thing, he hasn’t attempted a steal in 10 games as a leadoff man. He was 5-for-5 in steals over his first 22 games, but 0-for-0 in 14 games since.
