Date: Team: Pos:
Kyle Kendrick - S - Phillies

Kyle Kendrick was tagged for five runs in five innings Friday in a loss to the Nationals.

Kendrick allowed an army of baserunners, giving up eight hits and walking four. After posting a 1.84 ERA over his previous seven starts, he has allowed nine runs in 11 innings over his last two. He'll look to get back on track next week against the Red Sox.

Michael Young - 3B - Phillies

Michael Young was hitless in four at-bats in Friday and has just one RBI over his last 14 games.

Young has a decent .280 batting average to go along with a .378 on-base percentage, but he has done little else to help in fantasy leagues. Through 47 games, he has just one home run to go along with 10 RBI. With his penchant for ground balls (he had three ground outs on Friday), we're not banking on a power resurgence.

Darin Ruf - OF - Phillies

Darin Ruf has been dealing with a sore hand at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

That could be the determining factor as to why Michael Martinez was recalled rather than Ruf when Chase Utley (oblique) was placed on the DL. Through 42 games on the season, Ruf is batting .263/.341/.431 with five homers and 23 RBI at Triple-A. The 26-year-old figures to see some time in the majors later this year if healthy.

Roy Halladay - S - Phillies

Phillies transferred RHP Roy Halladay from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot for Michael Martinez on the 40-man roster. It won't have any impact on Halladay's timeline, as he had shoulder surgery earlier this month and is unlikely to make it back until late August at the earliest.
May 24 - 4:33 PM
Mike Adams - R - Phillies

Mike Adams (back) will be activated from the disabled list on Sunday.

Adams had been scheduled to make a rehab appearance next Monday, but evidently he's recovering a little quicker than expected. It's not clear if he'll appear in a minor league game over the weekend or just throw in the bullpen to get ready. Either way, Jonathan Papelbon will have his setup man back on Sunday.

Chad Durbin - R - Phillies

Chad Durbin sports a hideous 10.38 ERA in May.

His season ERA of 8.10 isn't much better. Durbin sat at a decent 3.52 ERA on April 29. Since that time, he's been a human piñata, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits and four homers over just 3 2/3 innings. Durbin, 35, registered a solid 3.10 ERA in 61 innings last season for the Braves. Philadelphia may be wondering if they purchased a $1.1 million mole at this point.
May 24 - 4:27 AM
Antonio Bastardo - R - Phillies

Antonio Bastardo has a 2.35 ERA through 19 appearances despite a mediocre 1.43 WHIP.

Bastardo has also blown two saves. He's punching out 4.6 less hitters per nine innings then he did last year, when he had a poor 4.33 ERA, and he's allowing more hits and walks. If Bastardo doesn't become stingier with base runners, his peripherals will begin to wreak havoc on his ERA.
May 24 - 2:06 AM
Jeremy Horst - R - Phillies

Jeremy Horst has not carried over his success from 2012, posting a 5.09 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 17 2/3 innings.

Luckily for him, Philly's bullpen depth is poor. A lack of attractive alternative options will only save Horst's job for so long, however, if he keeps getting lit up at this rate. Horst posted a 1.74 ERA over 44 games in limited time the last two seasons, which is probably why the Phillies have given him as much rope as they have.
May 24 - 1:14 AM
Michael Martinez - 2B - Phillies

Phillies purchased the contract of INF/OF Michael Martinez from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Martinez has batted .226/.297/.274 with three steals at Lehigh Valley this season. He'll provide depth with Chase Utley on the DL.
May 23 - 10:28 PM
Chase Utley - 2B - Phillies

Phillies placed 2B Chase Utley on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 21, with a right 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.
May 23 - 8:08 PM
Michael Stutes - R - Phillies

Phillies recalled RHP Michael Stutes from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Stutes has a 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25/11 K/BB ratio in 27 innings this season at the Triple-A level. The right-hander should do fine in a middle relief role for Philly.
May 23 - 3:37 PM
Carlos Zambrano - S - Phillies

Carlos Zambrano allowed one (unearned) run over four innings Thursday at extended spring training.

Zambrano was also good in his first extended spring training start last week, striking out five batters over two scoreless innings. He yielded four hits and a walk on Thursday while fanning four. The right-hander could be an option for the Phils sooner than expected.

Darin Ruf - OF - Phillies

Darin Ruf could be called up this weekend.

Ruf is batting .263/.341/.431 with five home runs and 23 RBI in 42 games this year at the Triple-A level. Those aren't spectacular numbers, but Chase Utley (rib cage) may be headed to the disabled list and the Phillies will need an extra bat for their interleague series early next week in Boston. Ruf is unlikely to be fantasy-relevant.

Mike Adams - R - Phillies

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.

Phillippe Aumont - R - Phillies

Phillies optioned RHP Phillippe Aumont to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Aumont struck out 15 over 13 innings but also posted a 4.15 ERA and 2.08 WHIP over 16 appearances. The Phillies are likely to call up Mike Stutes prior to Friday's game.
