Church (undisclosed) went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored Tuesday in Double-A Springfield's 12-1 loss to Wichita after being activated from the 7-day injured list Monday.

Church made his 2025 debut with Springfield after an unspecified injury had kept him on the shelf to begin the season. The 24-year-old was cleared to report to Double-A after completing a four-game rehab assignment last week with Single-A Palm Beach, during which he went 2-for-13 with a walk, a stolen base, three runs and an RBI.

The Phillies activated Wilson (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Wilson opened the season on the shelf after suffering a moderate left oblique strain early in spring training, but he's ready to make his 2025 debut with the Phillies after completing a 10-game minor-league rehab assignment. Between stops with Single-A Clearwater and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Wilson slashed just .158/.304/.237 over 46 plate appearances, though some rust was to be expected after he didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games. Now that he's healthy, the right-handed-hitting Wilson could end up settling into the short side of a platoon in left field with the left-handed-hitting Max Kepler.

The Phillies designated Clemens for assignment Wednesday.

Though he had been on the active roster since Opening Day, Clemens had made no starts and logged just seven plate appearances through the Phillies' first 24 contests. As a left-handed bench bat who doesn't profile as a platoon option, Clemens was deemed an expendable piece and will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to the right-handed-hitting Weston Wilson (oblique), who was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Clemens doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so the Phillies will have to expose him to waivers first in order for him to potentially remain in the organization as infield depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Norby is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Reds.

It's a routine day off for Norby, who has now started five of seven contests since being activated from the 10-day injured list. Graham Pauley will be at third base and bat ninth for the Marlins.

Ramirez is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Ramirez started the first two games of the series and went 5-for-6 with three doubles, one RBI and a stolen base. He'll get a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Liam Hicks will do the catching and bat seventh for the Marlins.

Pages is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Atlanta.

After catching each of the first two games of the series, Pages will grab a seat for Wednesday's matinee. Yohel Pozo is behind the dish and batting seventh for the Cardinals in the series finale.

Donovan (rib) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta.

Donovan had a rib pop out of place Tuesday morning and will now sit out a second straight game. He is not expected to need a stint on the injured list and could be available to pinch hit Wednesday, per John Denton of MLB.com. Nolan Gorman will handle second base and bat third in Wednesday's series finale.

Atlanta transferred Alvarez (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

Alvarez's IL stint is retroactive to March 24, so he won't be eligible to make his 2025 debut with Atlanta until at least May 23. Since the 22-year-old infielder was diagnosed with left wrist inflammation during spring training, Atlanta has provided scarce updates on where he stands in his recovery. Alvarez is currently conducting his rehab at Atlanta's spring facility in Florida, but it's unclear how close he might be to playing in simulated games and eventually heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Atlanta optioned Wiles to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

After getting his first MLB call-up Tuesday, Wiles looked like a strong candidate to serve as a bulk reliever in Atlanta's matchup with St. Louis. However, Atlanta ended up treating the game as more of a bullpen day, with opener Scott Blewett covering the first three innings and then being followed by four other relievers before Wiles entered the game in the top of the ninth with his team trailing 7-4. Wiles didn't do anything to distinguish himself in the low-leverage appearance, giving up three earned runs on four hits while striking out a batter in his lone inning. He'll now head back to Gwinnett, where he'll presumably slot back into the rotation.

Trevino is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Miami.

Trevino caught each of the first two games of the three-game set, so he's earned a breather for Wednesday's finale. Austin Wynns is behind the plate and batting ninth for the Reds.
