Bryce Harper is going on the 10-day injured list. Otto Kemp is being promoted from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster. Justin Crawford has not been in the lineup the past couple games because of a quad issue. He could be back as early as Sunday.

We got a lot of great Phillies questions from you before Wednesday’s episode. Here is one of them:

A lot to talk about before this weekend’s series in Pittsburgh.

We get on some fun tangents, too.

We’re answering your questions in our next episode. Fire away!

We had our morning coffee before this one …

The Phillies promoted prospect Seth Johnson from Triple-A. José Ruiz was DFA’d. The Phillies earlier this season converted Johnson from a starter to a reliever. www.mlb.com/news/phillie...
