The Phillies’ hot start fizzled into a slump after the All-Star break, dropping 9 of their last 12 games and falling six back of the Braves. Bryce Harper admits he’s been struggling at the plate, batting far below his usual standards and chasing pitches outside the zone — all while insisting he’s physically healthy. The offense has been anemic in July, ranking near the bottom in runs and batting average, and the team’s defense hasn’t helped, as they’ve surrendered late-game runs. With the trade deadline looming, pressure mounts on management to make a move and reignite the team’s momentum.
