Henriquez (3-1) was charged with a blown save but picked up the win Wednesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk over two innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander was called in to protect a 7-6 lead in the seventh inning but served up a two-run homer to Gavin Sheets, only for the Marlins to strike back for three runs in the top of the eighth. Calvin Faucher ended up working the ninth for the save, but Henriquez may be Miami's top high-leverage option at the moment. Wednesday's homer was the first on his ledger since April 27, while the earned runs were the first he'd given up since April 28. Through 12 appearances in May, Henriquez sports a 1.38 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 13 innings while collecting two wins, two holds and his first career save.

Wagaman went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

It's his third three-hit performance in the last 12 games, a stretch in which Wagaman is slashing .340/.370/.460 with a homer, seven runs and seven RBI. The 27-year-old has emerged as an everyday player for the Marlins, seeing most of his action at first base right now with occasional forays into left field, but his overall fantasy impact remains minimal -- he has a .693 OPS on the season with four homers and one steal in 50 contests.

Allen is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.

Allen had started in every game dating back to April 23, so he'll get an overdue breather in Atlanta's first contest of the day before presumably returning to the lineup for the nightcap. Luke Williams will step in at shortstop for Allen in the early game.

Baldwin is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.

With a .337 batting average and .912 OPS in 105 plate appearances on the season, Baldwin has emerged as Atlanta's preferred option behind the plate, despite the fact that Sean Murphy is in the third year of a six-year, $73 million extension and has performed well in his own right (.783 OPS) through the first two months of the campaign. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker seems to have settled on a platoon between the two backstops, so the left-handed-hitting Baldwin will give way to the right-handed-hitting Murphy behind the plate while southpaw Cristopher Sanchez takes the hill for the Phillies in Game 1. Baldwin will re-enter the lineup for the nightcap to face off against right-hander Zack Wheeler.

Acuna is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.

Acuna should be back in the lineup for the nightcap, but Atlanta isn't yet ready to have him play two nine-inning games on the same day after he returned from the 15-day injured list last week. The 27-year-old has yet to attempt a stolen base through four games with Atlanta or during his six-game minor-league rehab assignment, but his surgically repaired left knee doesn't seem to be presenting any complications for him in the outfield or when he runs the bases. Acuna has also been dialed in at the plate since being activated Friday, going 5-for-16 with two home runs, a double and two walks.

Realmuto is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Rafael Marchan will handle catching duties for the first game of the day, but Realmuto should be back behind the dish for the nightcap, when he'll form a battery with right-hander Zack Wheeler. Realmuto had started in each of the Phillies' previous four games and went 2-for-17 at the plate, bringing his batting average down to a career-low .228 for the season.

Harper (elbow) is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

Harper was struck on the right elbow by a pitch in the first inning of Tuesday's series opener with Atlanta and was diagnosed with a bruise after X-rays cleared him of any structural damage. Even with the benefit of an extra day of rest due to a rainout Wednesday, Harper will end up missing out on his first start of the season in the front end of a doubleheader. According to Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Harper is "doing better" despite still dealing with some swelling on his elbow, though a decision hasn't been made whether the two-time NL MVP will be play in the second game of the day. Thomson noted that Harper still hasn't tried to swing a bat since suffering the injury, so the Phillies may be inclined to hold him out for both of Thursday's games with the hope that he'll be ready to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener versus the Brewers.

The Phillies appointed de Geus from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus Atlanta.

De Geus, whom the Phillies claimed off waivers from the Marlins on April 1, will be making his Philadelphia debut if he gets used out of the bullpen for either game of the twin bill. The right-hander has been sharp at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, logging a 0.95 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB in 19 innings.

Atlanta recalled Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Phillies.

Dodd will be available as an option out of the bullpen for both contests of the twin bill but will likely head back to Gwinnett on Friday. After making 20 starts at Gwinnett in 2024, the left-hander has made the full-time transition to a relief role in 2025. Through 18 appearances at Triple-A this season, Dodd owns a 5.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 24:3 K:BB in 18 innings.

Marte (oblique) had a follow-up MRI on Tuesday which showed further progress and he received the go-ahead to start rotational activities, MLB.com reports.

The exact nature of those rotational activities were not divulged in the report, but it's safe to assume that means swinging a bat and taking batting practice. He's missed three-plus weeks with the oblique issue and is expected to require a multi-game rehab assignment.
