He had two homers in a three-game series in Colorado from Sept. 2-4. His six homers are a career high. "He worked on that," manager Walt Weiss said. "He did some work this offseason. It was more not so much strength, but adding some rhythm to his setup and his approach which has allowed him to use his lower half."

LF Daniel Descalso left the Thursday game with a left shoulder contusion. He was injured in the third inning when he stumbled into the wall while catching a drive hit by SS Corey Seager, and he was replaced in the fourth. When manager Walt Weiss addressed the media after the game, he said he had not talked with trainer Keith Dugger about Descalso. "But he was having a hard time swinging the bat, so I had to get him out of there," Weiss said. "It didn't look real good. He kind of got folded up there against the wall. Any time a guy runs into the wall and you see his neck get in a position like that, it's concerning."

INF Daniel Descalso started in left field for the second straight game as manager Walt Weiss wanted to get another left-handed bat in the lineup with the Phillies starting a right-hander. And as happened Friday, Descalso was replaced in left by Brandon Barnes in the seventh. Before Friday, Descalso's only career outfield appearance came July 3, 2015, when he played one-third of an inning in right field at Arizona. Descalso had two putouts Friday, the first coming in the second inning when he made a lunging catch of Cesar Hernandez's line drive that was headed over Descalso's head. "I thought I got a pretty good jump on it and was able to make the play," he said. "I'm just trying to go out there and make the plays and not screw anything up." Asked how comfortable he felt in the outfield, Descalso said, "I felt OK. I was lonely out there. In the infield, you got somebody on the right or left of you; you kind of have conversation going during the game. In left field, I felt I was all by myself on like an island out there. It is different."
