Pivetta (5-2) took the loss Sunday against the Rockies, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings.

Pivetta surrendered a home run for a third consecutive start when he gave up a first-inning, three-run blast to Hunter Goodman. The struggles continued at Coors Field in the third, with Goodman supplying a two-run triple and then eventually coming in to score. Pivetta went fewer than five innings for just the second time this year. He had given up just six earned runs in his last five starts combined, including a seven-inning scoreless outing against the Rockies on April 11. Pivetta's ERA raised over a full point to 3.05, and he'll look to rebound in a home start versus the Mariners over the weekend.

Stott went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

Stott went 0-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts to begin this weekend's interleague series, but he was able to knock a hit in the series finale. The second baseman is now batting .262 with a .721 OPS, three home runs, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored, eight steals, five doubles and two triples over 37 contests. He continues to serve as the Phillies' preferred leadoff hitter versus right-handed pitchers.

Schwarber went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

Schwarber was the Phillies' offense in this contest, going deep with a solo shot in the second inning and a two-run blast in the eighth. The notorious slow starter has skipped right to midseason form in 2025, slashing .269/.404/.593 over 40 contests to begin the year. He's been even better in May, batting .333 (13-for-39) with five homers and nine RBI over 10 games this month. Schwarber also has a share of the major-league lead with 14 homers through Sunday's action, and he's added 32 RBI, 29 runs scored and four stolen bases.

Romano struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Guardians.

Romano has pitched five consecutive scoreless innings, allowing three hits while striking out five and walking none in that span. He's picked up two saves and a hold during that stretch. Amid a rough start to the season, Romano was demoted to a low-leverage role, and a six-run blowup against the Marlins on April 19 didn't help him regain trust quickly. He's found a little bit of stability now, and it could be telling that Romano got the ninth inning against the heart of Cleveland's order while Jose Alvarado handled the eighth inning in Sunday's contest. However, barring an announcement from manager Rob Thomson, it's best to view the Phillies' bullpen as an emerging closer committee for now.

Wheeler (4-1) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Guardians on Sunday.

Wheeler kept runs off the board for the first time in nine starts this season. It's also the fifth time he's allowed five or fewer baserunners, and he earned his seventh quality start. Wheeler has been in nearly peak form with a 2.95 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 74:11 K:BB across 58 innings this season. He's got a favorable matchup ahead, as he's projected to start at home versus the Pirates in his next outing.

Gallen (3-5) allowed four runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Gallen was able to keep the ball down on his watch, but the Dodgers still scraped together plenty of offense. After allowing just two runs over his previous 13 innings, this was a step back for Gallen, though it was far from a disaster. The veteran right-hander now has a 4.59 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 54:23 K:BB across 51 innings through nine starts this season. He's got a favorable matchup ahead, as he's projected for a home start against the Rockies when he next takes the mound.

Pages went 2-for-5 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Pages extended his hitting streak to eight games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-36 (.333) with six RBI and two steals. The outfielder is handling a full-time role in right field currently, covering for the injured Teoscar Hernandez (groin). Pages started the year slowly but is up to a .286/.342/.471 slash line with six homers, five steals, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 38 contests this season. He's logged multiple hits in nine of his last 18 games while going hitless just twice in that span.

Betts went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

In the four-game weekend series versus Arizona, Betts went 7-for-19 (.368) with a homer, a steal, two RBI and four runs. His long ball Sunday sparked a three-run ninth inning that turned this into a runaway win for the Dodgers. Betts' average is up to .272, his highest mark since he was at .279 on April 15. He's added a .786 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases, four doubles and a triple across 38 contests.

Freeman went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Freeman supplied an RBI double in the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a solo homer in the seventh. This was his bounce-back effort after seeing his 14-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-4 performance Saturday. During that streak, the first baseman his .472 (25-for-53) with nine extra-base hits and 19 RBI. For the season, he's at a superb .376/.437/.734 slash line with nine homers, 33 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple over 30 contests, though he's 0-for-1 on stolen base attempts.

Gonsolin (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.

Gonsolin landed just 48 of 84 pitches for strikes but still put together a strong start. It was his first scoreless outing in 2025, and he's now at a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16 innings through three starts. Gonsolin is providing quality innings for a Dodger rotation that's been battered by injuries in the early going. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.
