- Hays went 2-for-9 with a walk and three runs scored across two rehab games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He’s at Citizens Bank Park Monday, and manager Rob Thomson said the plan is to “run him through his workout today and figure out what we do tomorrow.” (Updated by Tim Kelly on Sept. 23)
- Spencer Turnbull (right lat strain)
- Status: 60-day injured list
- Turnbull last pitched in a game on June 26 at Detroit. He experienced a setback in mid-August, but is now trying to ramp up in an attempt to make a 2024 comeback as a reliever.
- Across a two-inning rehab stint for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sept. 22, Turnbull allowed two hits and two earned runs while striking out two. According to Thomson, Turnbull “touched 94 mph” and while he did give up a home run, the Phillies were happy that he completed multiple innings.
- The next step for Turnbull will be to throw live batting practice on Friday, with Thomson saying that he could potentially do three up-downs.(Updated by Tim Kelly on Sept. 23)

Dahl does not appear to be the answer long term, the larger the sample size the poorer the outcome. Although he is an outfielder which we need. If Clemens or Sosa can prove they can play the outfield then he is expendable.
Bring up our best power hitting outfielder in the minors until the AS game and let's see what he got.
How about Muzziotti?
Muzziotti was spectacular last year, but this year he is hitting around. 200 and not doing as well
It's frustrating to view 10 plus Philies strike out practically every game. Why is that?
Johnson down and Kingery up. Going to lose him anyway and you might as well get some use out of him
