Bryce Harper makes his much-anticipated debut at first base Friday night in the Phillies’ series opener in Cleveland, a huge development on multiple fronts. NBCSPhilly's CoreySeidman has the story.
Hall just didn't hit enough, going 1-for-17 with a single, no walks and 10 strikeouts since the All-Star break. He also committed a couple of errors at first base on relatively routine plays.
The options are not plentiful. Randal Grichuk's name has been out there since the season began because the Rockies are terrible and one of the few clear sellers. A groin injury has kept him out of the outfield since the first game after the All-Star break, but he did return to action as the Rockies' DH Friday night. Grichuk has hit just .222 with a sub-.700 OPS the last two seasons away from Coors Field.
Pham is having his best season since 2019, hitting .272/.356/.475 with 15 doubles, nine homers and 11 stolen bases. A right-handed hitter with plate selection and occasional pop, he has the skill set the Phillies would be looking for. He's on a one-year, $6 million contract that expires after the season.
The Phillies have 10 games left before the deadline and Dombrowski is confident that will be enough time to make the all-important determination.
