Castellanos went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

Castellanos ripped a grand slam in the sixth inning for his first homer since June 1. He has seven long balls this year but just three over his last 36 contests. Castellanos is slashing .279/.322/.428 with 36 RBI through 292 plate appearances.

Bohm went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Bohm knocked an RBI single in the third inning before belting a two-run shot in the fifth. He's gone deep twice over his last four games after a nine-game drought. Bohm posted a .526 OPS through the end of April but is now slashing .283/.322/.404 and has five multi-hit performances in his last 12 games.

Kemp went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Kemp singled four times Sunday, including a two-run base hit in the fourth inning. He picked up his first career steal and has produced three multi-hit performances over his last six games. Kemp was one of six Phillies with multiple hits in the victory. The 25-year-old rookie is slashing .345/.387/.379 through his first 31 plate appearances.

The Giants selected Lucchesi's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Lucchesi was a last-minute addition to San Francisco's major-league roster ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dodgers. With the Giants trading away Sunday's scheduled starter (Kyle Harrison) plus three other players to the Red Sox in exchange for Rafael Devers prior to the game, Lucchesi filled the spots vacated by Harrison on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster. Sean Hjelle will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sunday's game, but Lucchesi could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen once Hjelle exits. Lucchesi has previously started in 77 of his 81 appearances in the majors, but he's worked exclusively in relief with Sacramento in 2025, logging a 3.23 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB in 30.2 innings.

Turner went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored Sunday's 11-4 victory over Toronto.

It was the fourth multi-game of the month so far for Turner, who rapped his eighth extra-base hit of June. The All-Star shortstop has been a force atop the Phillies' lineup -- he's slashing .311/.374/.553 with 14 extra-base knocks, 16 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine stolen bases over his last 115 plate appearances (25 games). Turner has nine multi-hit efforts during that stretch, and he's recorded at least one hit in 19 of those contests.

Romano allowed one walk and no hits in one inning of relief during Sunday's 11-4 victory over Toronto. He struck out one.

Romano's usage is worth noting -- he worked the eighth inning of an 11-4 game after being bypassed in favor of Matt Strahm for a save opportunity in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays. Philadelphia's bullpen pecking order has been in a state of flux for most of the season, and it appears Romano's stock in fantasy is beginning to drop. Although it may be hasty to declare a definitive shift in the Phillies' closer role, the right-hander has struggled with a 7.71 ERA, 2.29 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over his last seven innings.

Garcia (adductor) has been throwing bullpen sessions and expects to face live hitters soon, per MLB.com.

A right adductor strain caused Garcia to land on the IL on June 1, but the veteran reliever has since been able to resume tossing from a mound. Garcia may not be ready to be activated when eligible, but it sounds like he's on track to return by the end of the month. Garcia has posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB with two wins and two holds through 26 appearances covering 26 innings this season.

Banks surrendered two runs on four hits and no walks in one inning of relief in Sunday's 11-4 victory over Toronto. He didn't record a strikeout.

The four hits allowed represented a season high for Banks, who aggressively poured in 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes as the Phillies nursed a big lead in the seventh inning. Banks has already conceded three runs in five innings during June, but he's been a dependable middle reliever in Philadelphia's bullpen for the most part. On the year, the 33-year-old left-hander owns a 4.06 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB with one hold plus a save across 31 innings.

Schmitt exited Sunday's contest against the Dodgers in the third inning after fouling a ball off his foot earlier in the game, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Schmitt fouled a ball off his foot in the top of the second inning, ultimately toughing it out for another frame before leaving the contest in the bottom of the third. The 26-year-old was already dealing with a sore foot from a previous foul ball earlier in the week, so he may have aggravated it Sunday. Tyler Fitzgerald replaced him at third base, batting sixth against Los Angeles, and Schmitt can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's off day prior to Tuesday's series opener at home against the Guardians.

Amaya (oblique) was cleared to begin a throwing program Friday, MLB.com reports.

Amaya looks to be in the process of ramping up again after a left oblique strain had kept him from throwing since May 24. The Cubs anticipate that Amaya will be able to return from the injured list prior to the All-Star break, though an exact target date may not come into focus until he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment.
