Bohm enjoyed a strong month of June, but is just 4-for-32 over his last eight games, so the Phillies are likely just lightening his load a bit. Edmundo Sosa will start at third base and bat eighth in the first game.

Two of the walks came with the bases loaded. That Abel had walked just four batters in 23 1/3 innings as a major leaguer coming into the day was an extremely nice surprise for the Phillies. Unfortunately, he unraveled in this one and went back to looking like the guy who finished 3-12 with a 6.46 ERA and 78 walks in 108 2/3 innings in Triple-A last year. The Phillies will need a fifth starter just once more before the break, so we’ll have to wait and see if they stick with Abel then or maybe send him down for a fresh arm and go with a bullpen game next week. It’s possible they’ll want to turn to Andrew Painter as their fifth starter after the break.

Realmuto found some good spots today, getting his hits on outfield flies with xBAs if .350, .300 and .370. Still, he deserves some luck, considering he entered with a .355 slugging percentage versus a .404 xSLG. His exit velocity numbers are about the same as usual, but his now .365 slugging percentage is more than 60 points lower than his worst season mark (.428) from the last nine years.

Philadelphia doesn’t want to push things for a workload standpoint with Harper only a few days removed from a stint on the injured list with right wrist inflammation. The 32-year-old fantasy stalwart should be back at the cold corner for Friday’s series opener against the Reds.

This certainly qualifies as an unexpected development. Jung has been mired in a prolonged slump at the dish for the last few weeks, hitting .164 (19-for-116) with one homer and 16 RBI over his last 30 games. He’s struggled to a lackluster .237/.283/.366 slash line with just eight homers and 35 RBI over 75 games this season. He’ll get a chance to reset at the Triple-A level and work on things out of the spotlight. It’ll likely be some combination of Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran taking over at the hot corner.

Arenado was diagnosed with a sprained right index finger, which allegedly began over the weekend. After playing through it on Monday, he will now miss two straight games. Thomas Saggese will start at third base and bat sixth on Wednesday.

The positive news here for the Cardinals, and fantasy managers, is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and it sounds like Arenado will avoid a trip to the injured list. The 34-year-old, who is officially day-to-day for now, is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Pirates. He figures to get some additional time off to hopefully put the issue to bed. It’ll be Nolan Gorman handling the hot corner in his absence.
