Phillies rout Mets 12-2 behind Bohm to punch playoff ticket and near NL East crown
M.Kim10 days ago
New York, which had won four in a row and 16 of 20, remained two games ahead of Atlanta for the final NL playoff spot. The Mets began the night tied with Arizona for the second of three wild cards — the Diamondbacks started a little later in Milwaukee. Phillies: OF Austin Hays (kidney infection) worked out the past two days at Citi Field and will be the DH in a rehab game Saturday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He is scheduled to play the field Sunday and potentially come off the injured list Tuesday. ... RHP Spencer Turnbull (right lat strain) is slated to throw two innings Sunday for Lehigh Valley and then return to the team's training complex in Florida to continue rehabbing. Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson didn't completely rule out the possibility of Turnbull pitching for the Phillies in the postseason. Turnbull has been on the injured list since June 27. Mets: SS Francisco Lindor (sore back) has missed five straight games and played only one inning in the past seven. But manager Carlos Mendoza said Lindor was feeling better and planned to run and play catch before the game. If he felt good enough to progress to baseball activities, it's possible Lindor could return to the lineup Saturday. ... RHP Kodai Senga (strained left calf) will throw no more than two innings and 30-35 pitches in a rehab outing Saturday for Triple-A Syracuse. If all goes well, he could come off the 60-day injured list and be available to pitch in some role Friday at Milwaukee. ''Ultimately we'll have to make a judgment call on what's beat for the team,'' president of baseball operations David Stearns said. ... C Francisco Alvarez and OF Tyrone Taylor were rested.
