Harper (illness) will start at first base and bat third Thursday against Miami, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Harper missed the Phillies' last two games while fighting off an illness, but he seems to be feeling better heading into Thursday's series finale. The 32-year-old slugger will aim to finish the year strong after posting an .839 OPS across 85 plate appearances since the beginning of September.

Eldridge went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

Eldridge hit a two-bagger in the third inning and added a single in the seventh. With that, the 20-year-old delivered his first multi-hit performance in the big leagues. Over eight appearances with the Giants, he's slashing .125/.300/.208 with three RBI, two doubles and a run scored across 30 plate appearances. He has started five consecutive games and should continue to see a significant workload with three matchups remaining, as the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Horwitz went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Reds.

The 27-year-old first baseman dealt a potentially fatal blow to Cincinnati's playoff hopes when he launched his second two-bagger of the night into the right-field corner to lead off the 11th inning, bringing Bryan Reynolds home as the phantom runner. Horwitz is finishing up his 2025 campaign in style, slashing .300/.397/.540 over his last 16 games with six doubles, two homers, seven runs and eight RBI.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Mets.

Busch has been on a power surge with five home runs across his last 11 games, pushing him to a career-high 31 long balls for the season. The left-handed slugger continues to do most of his damage against righties, as he's sporting an .875 OPS and has hit 27 of his homers in those matchups, though Wednesday's shot came against New York southpaw Sean Manaea.

The Rockies reinstated Bernabel (concussion) from the 7-day injured list, and he will start at first base and bat eighth against the Mariners on Wednesday.

Bernabel suffered a head injury against the Dodgers on Sept. 8 and was diagnosed with a concussion following the game, but he has cleared MLB's protocol and will play Wednesday. Bernabel has slashed .264/.301/.434 with one steal, 15 runs, four home runs and 14 RBI in 136 plate appearances since making his major-league debut July 26.

Harper (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Marlins, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Harper is under the weather and will miss a second consecutive start. He is considered day-to-day. Otto Kemp will play first base and bat fifth for the Phillies.

Arraez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.

Arraez turned on a Bruce Zimmermann cutter in the second inning, curling it off the right-field foul pole for a two-run shot, his eighth homer of the season. It's been a down year overall for Arraez, with career lows in batting average (.288) and OPS (.711) across 151 games, but the infielder may be heating up at the right time, riding a 12-game hitting streak with an .801 OPS during that span.

O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.

O'Hearn electrified the crowd Tuesday with a first-inning grand slam off Bruce Zimmermann to put the Padres on top early. After a rough start to September, the slugger has locked back in, going 10-for-20 with eight RBI and a pair of extra-base hits across his past five games. While his post-deadline production has dipped to a .711 OPS since he left the Orioles, O'Hearn's overall season has been strong, with a .276/.362/.435 line, 20 doubles, 17 homers and 62 RBI across 140 games.

Vaughn isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Vaughn will get a chance to rest Tuesday after going 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's extra-inning loss. Jake Bauers will get the nod at first base instead and bat seventh.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Harper is absent from Tuesday's lineup versus the Marlins due to illness, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

The illness is bad enough to force Harper to miss his first start since July 2, but he should be ready to return to action in a day or two. Otto Kemp is at first base and batting ninth for the Phillies.
