Phillies clinch a playoff berth on a delayed flight, as Giants fall to Dodgers to seal the spot. With the magic number at one, Philly eyes an NL East clinch and a favorable postseason path in a high-stakes Dodgers series. Injury returns loom: Bohm could rejoin Friday, Sosa back soon, Turner rehabbing with a late-season return possible, Stott covering at short, and Romano receiving treatment. Nola earns a 2025 Roberto Clemente Award nod; Sánchez slated to start Tuesday vs Ohtani, a high-profile matchup.

Four key notes shape the fantasy lens: clinch timing and tiebreaker leverage, late-season lineup reinforcement, health tracking for core players, and a unique pitching duel with Ohtani on deck. Managers should weigh rest vs role clarity as the Phils push toward seeding and the Dodgers series becomes a de facto playoff preview.
