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
Erik Kratz hit a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
Kratz put the game out of reach after Ben Revere's go-ahead single in the eighth inning. All four of those runs came off the struggling Mitchell Boggs. Kratz has been pretty terrible so far this year, but the Phillies will be getting a much needed upgrade at catcher with Carlos Ruiz set to return from suspension next week
Apr 21 - 11:45 PM
Erik Kratz doubled in Friday's shutout loss to the Blue Jays.
Kratz is having a decent spring, hitting .279 with a pair of homers and 11 RBI over 15 games. He has a chance to be relevant in deeper mixed leagues to begin the season, as he'll see the bulk of the playing time behind the plate while Carlos Ruiz serves his 25-game suspension.
Mar 29 - 9:23 PM
Erik Kratz homered, doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead the Phillies to a 7-6 win over the Braves on Friday.
Kratz will be the Phillies' everyday catcher until Carlos Ruiz returns, giving him some extra value in April. He'd even make for a decent No. 2 catcher in mixed leagues during the first month. Just make sure to drop him afterwards.

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.

Chase Utley
D.L.
Phillies placed 2B Chase Utley on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with a mild oblique strain.
General manager Ruben Amaro described the strain as "very mild," so, all things considered, it's pretty good news for the Phils. Amaro is hopeful that Utley will be ready when his two weeks are up, but it's possible he could be out as long as four weeks. Freddy Galvis will function as the primary second baseman while Utley is out. The team will make a corresponding move prior to Friday's game.

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.

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.
