Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola and third baseman Alec Bohm are back with the team after time on the injured list. With the Phillies in Washington finishing a four-game series with the Nationals, they announced the move to activate both players from the IL before Sunday morning's finale on Roku. Rookie Otto Kemp was the casualty from the active roster in today's transaction.
The Phillies optioned Kemp, who has been scuffling at the plate, back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make room on the 26-man roster for Bohm. They already had an open spot on the active roster for Nola after Saturday's scary news of Zack Wheeler landing on the 15-day IL with a blood clot.
