The Phillies have acquired reliever Michael Rucker from the Cubs in exchange for cash and designated Andrew Bellatti for assignment to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Rucker, who has pitched at the MLB level in the past three years, brings arm strength and reasonable peripheral numbers to the Phillies. Meanwhile, Bellatti, who had a successful 2022 season, will be traded or placed on waivers by the Phillies.
The Philadelphia Phillies have placed José Alvarado on the 15-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation, while recalling Andrew Bellatti in a corresponding move.

The Philadelphia Phillies suffered a humiliating 13-0 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds, with pitcher Matt Strahm exiting early due to a bloody thumb.

The Phillies have made nine outs on the bases so far this season, the most in the majors, and are on pace for 97 baserunning outs. Bryson Stott extended his season-opening hitting streak with a leadoff double.
