    Takeaways from Phillies' 8-2 run: More of Orion Kerkering, Nick Castellanos keeps swinging, and more

    The Phillies are 8-2 over their last 10 games. Over the past week, they've posted a .281 batting average — third best in baseball — a .349 on-base percentage and a .455 slugging percentage, which both rank fourth. Three of their five starters have an ERA under 2.00: Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez and Spencer Turnbull (although, Turnbull may be moving to the bullpen soon). Reliever Seranthony Domínguez has allowed three home runs this season and all have come on his slider, the pitch he throws 26.4% of the time.

    Phillies' Orion Kerkering reinstated from injured list; Nick Nelson optioned to triple A

    Phillies reliever Orion Kerkering has looked ready over his last few outings of his rehab assignment, and on Sunday, he was officially reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Right-handed reliever Nick Nelson was optioned to triple-A Lehigh Valley to make room for Kerkering on the active roster. Manager Rob Thomson said the decision was between Nelson and recently acquired right-hander Ricardo Pinto, but the Phillies went with Pinto because he can give them more length. “What we want to see out of Nelly — and one of the reasons we sent him down at the start of the year — was to get him more reps, so that maybe his velocity would spike up again,” Thomson said.
