The Phillies are scrambling to fill their right-handed bat void as injuries hit hard, and they’re turning to veteran Bryan De La Cruz for a crucial showdown against the Dodgers. With Adolis Garcia and Johan Rojas sidelined and top prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr. still finding his groove, Philly made a bold move—calling up De La Cruz and sending Garrett Stubbs to the IL. De La Cruz, a right-handed hitter with solid Triple-A numbers, steps into the lineup for Game 3, batting seventh and playing right field, hoping to give the offense a much-needed boost against lefty starter Eric Lauer. The lineup also shifts with Derek Hill in center and Edmundo Sosa in left, while All-Star Brandon Marsh gets a breather. Behind the plate, Rafael Marchan takes over for Realmuto, and on the mound, Aaron Nola looks to snap a win drought and lead the Phillies to a critical victory before the trade deadline.
