Week 25 adds four stealthy streaming arms: Jeffrey Springs, Ryan Weathers, Andrew Alvarez, and Shane Smith. Each offers a distinct path to solid ratios and possible wins in a tight playoff push.

Springs lands a two-start slate with a Pirates date that could yield a win and ratio help; Weathers heads to Coors with a healthy profile; Alvarez uses a clean three-pitch mix to suppress damage; Smith brings a high-velocity, diversified arsenal versus Baltimore. Add these arms now.

Phillies rally from a 4-0 hole to beat the Dodgers 9-6, trimming the season-series deficit and tightening their grip on a top NL seed. A late assault featuring Brandon Marsh and Max Kepler homers, plus Rafael Marchan’s clutch knock, turned the game. Ohtani dazzled early for LA with five hitless innings and a solo shot, but Philadelphia’s bats seized the moment after the sixth. The win drops Philly’s magic number to four as Luzardo-Snell looms in a pivotal next matchup.

Dodgers starter Cristopher Sanchez was chased after two early homers, yet rode through seven, while the bullpen unravelled in the sixth. The scene shifts to a final twist in the series with upcoming showdowns against Luzardo and Snell.

Fantasy angles swing wide: Philly’s power duo Marsh and Kepler hot-streaking, the catcher Marchan delivering a season-saving hit, and Ohtani’s nightcap of hits highlighting a pitchers’ duel that tilted late. Teams jockey for position as the calendar turns toward October.

Sosa lands on the 10-day IL with a groin strain, targeting a Sept. 23 return. Rafael Lantigua is recalled, a 27-year-old who hit .232 with seven homers across 124 Lehigh Valley games, versatile enough to cover 2B/3B/SS. The move comes as Philadelphia guards him against turf risk in Arizona.

Playoff plans center on Cristopher Sánchez as Game 1 starter and a possible three-lefty rotation. Nola’s late-season form is under scrutiny, while Bohm and Turner push toward activation. Realmuto sits to rest and Marchán steps in, keeping the lineup flexible for the final stretch.
