Zack Wheeler dominated in Arlington, fanning seven across a three-hit, seven-inning stage, as Philadelphia held off Texas 4-2 to sweep the series. Edmundo Sosa connected for a solo homer, Bryce Harper lined an RBI double, and Weston Wilson delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the sixth, backed by a stingy Phillies bullpen and a closing clinic from Jhoan Duran, who earned his 20th save since the blockbuster swap. The Rangers jumped out front on Joc Pederson’s first-inning two-run shot, but Philadelphia answered with a sustained late surge to reclaim the lead and seal it.

Philadelphia’s depth and late-inning urgency carried the day: Sosa’s homer tied the game in the fifth, Wilson’s single put the Phillies ahead, and Harper’s early RBI double kickstarted the comeback. Harrison Bader killed Texas’ momentum with a leaping, wall-snug robbed homer in the fifth, underscoring Philly’s sharp defense in addition to the pitching. Wheeler extended a season-long trend of six or more strikeouts for the 19th time, and the Phillies improved to 49-2 when leading after six innings and 57-2 after seven, the best marks in MLB. The club now heads to Cincinnati for a road trip opener with Taijuan Walker on the mound against Andrew Abbott, while Texas wraps up its homestand with Nathan Eovaldi opposing Ryne Nelson as the Diamondbacks visit.

Alec Bohm, the Philadelphia Phillies' third baseman, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a fractured left rib. His injury occurred on a hit-by-pitch from the San Diego Padres' Yu Darvish. Bohm struggled through the injury after sitting out a game against the Padres before the All-Star break, but he returned to play against the Los Angeles Angels last Friday. Despite this setback, he’s having a solid season with a .278 batting average, eight home runs, and 42 RBIs across 92 games.

In the wake of Bohm's injury, the Phillies have called up Weston Wilson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill his roster spot. This move reflects the team's ongoing efforts to maintain their competitive edge as they navigate the season's challenges. Bohm's absence will undoubtedly be felt as he has been a crucial player in their lineup this year.

The Philadelphia Phillies have placed right-hander Aaron Nola on the 60-day injured list due to a ribcage injury, compounding his earlier ankle issues. Nola has struggled with performance this season, recording a 1-7 record and a 6.16 ERA over nine starts. The injury occurred during a pregame workout, and an MRI revealed a stress reaction in his ribcage, sidelining him further. This move comes as the Phillies also called up infielder Buddy Kennedy, who has been impressive in Triple-A, batting .283 with eight home runs this season.

In a corresponding roster move, infielder Weston Wilson was optioned to Triple-A after a lackluster performance in the majors, where he hit just .194 with one home run in 22 games. Kennedy, noted for his solid performance in the minor leagues, offers the Phillies some hope as they navigate Nola's absence and seek to regain momentum in a competitive NL East.

The Philadelphia Phillies have traded Kody Clemens to the Minnesota Twins for cash considerations, following his brief month-long tenure with the team. Initially acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers, Clemens struggled to find playing time due to the presence of five left-handed hitters in the Phillies' lineup. Despite his versatility across multiple infield positions, Clemens managed only one at-bat in the first 14 games of the season before being designated for assignment to make room for Weston Wilson, who provides right-handed hitting options.

Clemens did have a few notable moments with the Phillies, including a game-tying homer against the Nationals and a walk-off hit against the Rays. However, his overall performance was subpar, with a .220 batting average and nine home runs across 97 games. The Twins are expected to provide him with more opportunities, especially after losing rookie infielder Luke Keaschall to injury.

The Philadelphia Phillies are feeling optimistic about Cristopher Sánchez after he reported "normal" sensations following his recent forearm tightness. Manager Rob Thomson and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski expressed confidence that Sánchez may have avoided serious injury, with no plans for an MRI at this time. Sánchez's velocity issues during his last start against the Mets raised concerns, leading to an early exit, but positive assessments from team doctors have calmed fears.

Utility player Weston Wilson has returned to the team after recovering from an oblique strain, adding depth to the lineup. Wilson aims to provide versatility, filling in various positions as needed. The Phillies are strategically managing their rotation, allowing Sánchez extra recovery time without requiring a stint on the injured list.
