Erik Kratz hit a game-tying solo home run Sunday as the Phillies came back to beat the Reds 3-2.

Kratz hit his solo shot off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman in the bottom of the ninth, and it was quickly followed by a walkoff solo blast from Freddy Galvis. Talk about unpredictable. Kratz will likely get regular playing time at catcher over the next few weeks while Carlos Ruiz recovers from the right hamstring strain that he suffered earlier in Sunday's game. May 19 - 4:43 PM

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Carlos Ruiz D.L. Phillies placed C Carlos Ruiz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 20, with a right hamstring strain. Ruiz was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his hamstring and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. It's a tough blow for the Phillies, who just got Ruiz back from his suspension less than one month ago. Erik Kratz and Humberto Quintero will fill in behind the plate once again. May 21
	2	Erik Kratz
1B	1	Ryan Howard
2B	1	Chase Utley Sidelined Chase Utley (rib cage) will undergo an MRI on Thursday. Utley was scratched from Tuesday's lineup after he felt pain and a burning sensation in his right rib cage after taking a swing during batting practice. Rib cage and oblique injuries tend to linger, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him land on the disabled list at this point. Get a backup plan in place in fantasy leagues. May 22

Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Cole Hamels
	2	Roy Halladay D.L. Roy Halladay (shoulder) could rejoin the Phillies' rotation in late August if everything progresses on schedule. Halladay, who had surgery last week to remove a bone spur in his shoulder and repair his torn rotator cuff, reported to extended spring training Monday to begin his rehab. General manager Ruben Amaro said Doc has pretty good range of motion and is "pretty positive." Obviously late August is so far away that it's just a rough timetable, but, given Halladay's famous work ethic, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him pitching later this season. May 22
	3	Cliff Lee
	4	Kyle Kendrick
	5	John Lannan D.L. John Lannan (quad) is scheduled to face hitters next Wednesday. It will be the first time he's done so since going on the disabled list. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said Lannan "is doing very well. He feels good." The left-hander could rejoin the rotation in a few weeks if all goes well. May 22
	6	Jonathan Pettibone
	7	Tyler Cloyd
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jonathan Papelbon
	2	Mike Adams D.L. Mike Adams (back) is scheduled to make an appearance in a minor league rehab game Monday. That means that he won't return to the Phillies' bullpen until Tuesday night, at the earliest. Adams has been sidelined since May 11 with a right back strain. May 23
