Philadelphia Phillies DFS SPIN
Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters on Saturday that Bryce Harper (elbow) may not require a minor league rehab assignment before returning to the team’s lineup. Thomson noted that if Harper is feeling good and swinging the bat well, why waste any at-bats in the minor leagues. It’s an interesting idea for sure, and one that would get Harper back on the field as quickly as possible. Last year, after Harper missed nearly two months with a broken left thumb, he had 10 plate appearances in two minor league games before joining the Phillies’ lineup. Harper also said he believed that he could get his reps in without having to do a stint in the minor leagues. He has already been taking batting practice daily or the past two-and-a-half weeks — and is scheduled to face Ranger Suarez in a simulated game on Tuesday. While it seems crazy, there’s a small possibility that we see Harper make his season debut before the end of April.
Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Wil Myers went 4-for-5 with two homers and five RBI as the Reds crushed the Phillies 13-0 on Saturday. Myers, who had just one extra-base hit in 54 plate appearances, raised his OPS from .549 to 779 today. It’s his 12th career two-homer game and first since 2021. He had five RBI for the sixth time in his career and four runs scored for just the third time.
