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.

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.

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.

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.

Rogers contributed 21 homers in 2023 and 10 last year, but he has just 68 plate appearances this season after missing time with a strained oblique and taking a backseat to Dillon Dingler since returning. He’s batting .175/.294/.298.

It’ll be Ben Rice drawing the start at catcher with Wells receiving another day off. The 25-year-old backstop is dealing with artery damage in his left index finger that leads to an intermittent cold sensation and discoloration. The positive news is that additional testing, including an invasive procedure, ruled out any potential blood clots or an aneurysm. It seems like he’ll avoid the injured list and there’s a chance he’s back in New York’s lineup at some point later this week.

Sanchez victimized Rangers’ right-hander Jacob deGrom for his 381-foot (105.0 mph EV) two-run shot in the fourth inning, pulling the Orioles to within a run at 3-2. That would be as close as they would get. The 32-year-old backstop finished the night 1-for-3 and is now hitting .259/.330/.469 with five homers and 24 RBI in 91 plate appearances on the season.
