Adolis García now has DJ equipment in the Phillies’ clubhouse.
His “awesome” musical abilities have been a hit so far with teammates, and it sounds like it could become the club’s new thing after wins.
Story with @destiny_lugardo:
The Phillies originally said Zack Wheeler would start Game 1 today. Then he called Rob Thomson back.
“Is it too late to switch?” he asked.
“You can do whatever you want,” Thomson said. “You’re Zack Wheeler.” He’ll pitch the nightcap against Chris Sale.
First look at Garrett Stubbs as an IronPig.
The catcher said he’ll keep in touch with the Phillies and that he’s with Lehigh Valley as an “open book.”
“I'm here as a resource,” he said. “I want to help every single guy in this locker room.”

Phillies relievers are playing a new game in the bullpen.
They’ve been writing down guesses for the attendance at CBP. Closest without going over wins.

Nick Castellanos rushed to be there for Orion Kerkering after the stunning error.
“I just told him to keep his head up and I wanted to be next to him while he walked off the field,” Castellanos said, “just so you know that he’s not alone in that moment.”
Phillies closer Jhoan Duran said he has no problem pitching multiple innings or entering a game with runners on base.
He likes the pressure of coming in for a jam.
José Alvarado accepted the suspension and left Philadelphia for now, Dave Dombrowski said. His locker had been cleaned of all gloves and cleats.
Phillies believe this was unintentional as Alvarado took something for weight loss. Still, the player is responsible.
Lifelong Phillies fan Luke Gabrysh was one row away from where Bryce Harper’s “Bedlam at the Bank” HR landed. He got a photo with the ball.
Two years later, the local kid and St. Joe’s RHP was drafted by his hometown team.

Spencer Strider was relieved to hear Bryce Harper only had a bruised elbow.
Said it wasn’t intentional, but in the moment you have to move on and compete. Still, he was upset to see Harper get hurt.
“I’m not a complete sociopath,” he joked.
Ryan Howard was here as Kyle Schwarber reached 56 HR, and he’s hoping Schwarber catches his 58.
“I'm rooting for him, man,” Howard said. “I know how tough it is to be able to go out there and put a season like this together, and you just got to run with it as much as you can.”
Phillies drafted RHP Gage Wood, who threw a no-hitter with 19 strikeouts at the College World Series for Arkansas, with the 26th pick.
He’s the team’s first college first rounder since Brian Barber joined the Phillies organization.
