MLB Player News

Dickerson is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Brewers, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Dickerson went 1-for-6 with a double while starting the past two games and will head to the bench Wednesday with southpaw Brett Anderson pitching for Milwaukee. Darin Ruf will start in left field and bat leadoff for San Francisco.

Soler is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Soler started all 27 games since being acquired by Atlanta at the trade deadline, and he'll receive a well-earned day off after hitting .270/.378/.540 with eight homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs and a 18:24 BB:K during that span. Eddie Rosario, Joc Pederson and Adam Duvall will start from left to right in the outfield Wednesday.

Belt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

The first baseman endured a mostly frustrating game, leaving three men on base and striking out twice in five at-bats. However, he atoned by swatting a solo homer to center field in the sixth inning for his team's first run. Belt has been picking things up at the plate of late, slashing .381/.409/.857 with three homers and four RBI over his past five games.

Pederson went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in a 3-2 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Pederson opened the scoring with a 398-foot bomb to right off former teammate Walker Buehler in the third inning and later walked in the fifth. The home run was only the outfielder's third in August as Pederson has slumped to a subpar .200/.347/.400 line this month.

Miller hit a two-run home run during his only at-bat in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Miller tacked on a pair of insurance runs for the Phillies by taking Wander Suero deep in the ninth inning. It was his second long ball in as many games and the 15th of the year for the 31-year-old, who is batting .229/.321/.453 overall.

McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and a pair of walks during Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

McCutchen took Patrick Corbin deep in the fourth inning to notch his 22nd long ball of the year. The 34-year-old, who has dealt with knee issues this season, has put together a .222/.339/.437 slash line across 117 games. The homer was his first since Aug. 14.

Miller will be on the bench Tuesday against the Nationals.

Miller will sit as the Phillies load up on righties against the left-handed Patrick Corbin. Matt Vierling starts at first base.

Miller went 3-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

The 31-year-old is settling in as the Phillies' starting first baseman with Rhys Hoskins (abdomen) done for the year. Miller has started five straight games and gone 6-for-18 with two homers, three runs and four RBI, and his 14 home runs on the season represent his best performance in that category since he launched 30 for Tampa Bay in 2016.

Harper went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.

The 28-year-old tormented his former club once again, taking Josiah Gray deep in the first inning to give the Phillies a lead they would never relinquish. Harper has hit safely in seven straight games, slashing a majestic .462/.516/1.000 over that stretch with five doubles and three of his 26 homers on the year.

Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Soler got Atlanta on the board with his sixth-inning solo blast off Los Angeles starter Julio Urias, though he failed to be productive in any of his other three at-bats. The home run gives Soler three in his last four games and eight in 25 games with Atlanta after connecting on 13 in 94 games with Kansas City prior to being dealt.
