Philadelphia Phillies activate catcher Garrett Stubbs ahead of Marlins series
The Philadelphia Phillies activated veteran catcher Garrett Stubbs from the injured list, retroactively dating his return to July 18 after a stint with left‑wrist inflammation. The move cleared a roster spot, allowing backup Payton Henry to be optioned back to Triple‑A.
Philadelphia opened a three‑game series against the Miami Marlins on Monday at loanDepot park, looking to build on an 11‑4 victory over the New York Yankees. The club sits at 57‑49, five and a half games behind the NL East leader and holding the second wild‑card spot by two games. Pitcher Zack Wheeler (10‑2, 2.16 ERA, 117 strikeouts) is slated to start the opener. The Marlins, meanwhile, have lost 12 straight games and sit at 52‑54.
