The Dodgers and Phillies meet for a second time this season, this time for a three-game weekend series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
The last tilt between these two teams was one-sided, with the Dodgers scoring in double digits in all three games, sweeping the Phillies at Dodger Stadium from May 1-3 while outscoring them 36-11.
Since that series, both teams have been middling, with the Dodgers at 17-14 and the Phillies 15-15, though Philadelphia has won five straight.
The original plan was for Julio Urías to be activated off the injured list to start the series finale on Sunday, after missing three weeks with a left hamstring strain. The left-hander threw a simulated game on Tuesday against Dodgers hitters at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
But those plans changed on Friday, when Dave Roberts told reporters in Philadelphia that Urías is still experiencing hamstring discomfort and won’t be activated any time soon. The Dodgers will likely use a bullpen game for the series finale against the Phillies.
