De Los Santos was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 27th man for Friday's doubleheader against the Mets.

The right-hander had a two-day stint in the majors in mid-June, and he'll rejoin the big-league roster for Friday's twin bill. De Los Santos has appeared in four games for the Phillies this season and has allowed three runs on four hits with four strikeouts and a walk over three innings.

Coonrod was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with right forearm tendinitis, retroactive to June 24.

The right-hander apparently had the injury crop up Wednesday versus Washington when he surrendered three runs on three walks while recording two strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though Coonrod will be eligible to be activated in early July.

Barlow struck out two over a scoreless eighth inning in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Oakland.

Barlow had his contract selected earlier this week and made his big-league debut Thursday. He operated as a closer for Triple-A Round Rock but is expected to pitch in low-leverage situations for now.

Chavez (0-1) allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three across 2.1 innings, taking the loss to the Reds on Thursday.

Chavez surrendered a pair of doubles that led to a pair of runs scoring against him. It wasn't a terrible performance for it being his first big-league action of the season, as he reached his projected innings total in the bullpen game. The 37-year-old has been successful in the minors this season with a 2.25 ERA through 20 innings in Triple-A but has limited fantasy value .

Santillan (1-1) allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight across six innings, earning the win over Atlanta on Thursday.

Freddie Freeman got to Santillan early with a solo home run in the first inning. Other than that, it was smooth sailing for the rookie as he cruised to post a quality start in his first MLB win. The 24-year-old struck out eight batters in his third start, doubling his season total. He lowered his ERA to 3.29 over 13.2 innings. His next scheduled start tentatively lines up for Tuesday against the Padres.

Mejia allowed a run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across six innings versus Minnesota on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.

Mejia had allowed 12 runs across 9.2 innings in his last three outings, but he delivered a strong performance Thursday. The rookie right-hander's lone mistake was a wild pitch that allowed Luis Arraez to score in the first inning. The quality start lowered Mejia's ERA to 4.94 with a 1.18 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB across 23.2 innings this season. He carries a 1-2 record into his next start, tentatively set for next week at home versus Detroit.

Lakins allowed a hit and struck out three over four innings in Thursday's 9-0 loss to Toronto.

Lakins was the most effective of the four pitchers Baltimore used in the lopsided loss. He needed only 42 pitches (28 strikes) to complete his longest outing of the season. Lakins hasn't worked as a starter frequently -- he operated as a starter at the Double-A level in 2017 but has mostly been a reliever in higher levels of baseball. The 26-year-old has a 5.81 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB across 26.1 innings this year. He's added three holds and a 1-4 record in a low-leverage role.

Coulombe will be recalled from Triple-A St. Paul and start Friday against Cleveland in what is expected to be a bullpen game, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Coulombe will likely be an opener, but it's not clear who else will pitch out of the bullpen. Coulombe has a 1.77 ERA and 12.1 K/9 at Triple-A. He'll likely be sent down after the outing, but the Twins need bullpen help so he could stay in the majors with a strong performance.

Karinchak allowed one hit in one inning and earned the save Thursday against the Twins.

Karinchak allowed a two-out double to Jorge Polanco, but secured the save by inducing groundouts from Nelson Cruz, Max Kepler and Alex Kirilloff. The 25-year-old Karinchak has been terrific all season, converting nine of 10 save opportunities with a 2.67 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 58:19 K:BB over 33.2 innings. His lone blown save came way back on April 7 in his third appearance of the year.

Alcala (1-2) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while recording a single out to take the loss Thursday against Cleveland.

Alcala came on in the eighth inning of a 1-1 tie and gave up two singles and an intentional walk before giving way to Taylor Rogers with one out. Rogers immediately allowed all three inherited runners to score on an Eddie Rosario single and a Bobby Bradley groundout. The 25-year-old Alcala saw his ERA balloon to 4.40 on the year, but he still owns a superb 0.95 WHIP across 30.2 innings of relief work.
