Coming off Friday night’s emotion-filled Phillies victory, the boys in red pinstripes are back in action against the Mets on Saturday evening.
Didi Gregorius will be back in the lineup for the Phils and hopes to give the depleted offense a boost. Meanwhile, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto are still out with their injuries.

Having pitched two days in a row, it seems unlikely that Jose Alvarado, who sparked Friday night’s confrontations, will appear in the game. We’ll see if his absence helps keeps emotions in check.
Game time is 6:05 and will be televised on NBC Sports+.
