The Colorado Rockies, losers of 4 of their last 5, visit the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park
The Philadelphia Phillies (8-8) opened their 10-game homestand with a four-game split and welcome the struggling Colorado Rockies (4-12) to Citizens Bank Park on Monday night to open a three-game set. The Phillies made a roster move on Sunday, activating right-hander Orion Kerkering from the 15-day disabled list to fill a spot in the bullpen. Right-hander Nick Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, opening the roster spot. The 23-year-old Kerkering, taken in the fifth round in 2022 by Philadelphia, worked a scoreless seventh inning in Sunday’s loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Colorado right fielder Kris Bryant didn’t play Sunday, a day after exiting a game with a sore back and right ribs after a collision with the outfield wall.
