Walker is pitching today.

Realmuto can barely walk. He's leaving the game. He took it right in the groin.

Nola’s also been sick. (Many of the Phillies are.) He described the pause as “precautionary.” It’s his 32nd birthday, so happy birthday?

Johnson was up to 99 mph the other night at Triple A. Strike-throwing has been an issue. @charlottevarnes.bsky.social recently checked in on the righty’s progress: www.nytimes.com/athletic/638...

He hasn't swung a bat since Tuesday night and, given the timing of the afternoon game, they weren't going to push it. He could swing a little during the day, then they'll see.

The Phillies said Cristopher Sánchez will start Game 1 and Zack Wheeler has Game 2. So it's Wheeler-Sale at night.
