The Phillies are coming into San Diego on a three-game losing streak. The Padres are near the top of the National League with a 44-27 record.
The Padres will be playing without Manny Machado this weekend. He injured his ankle playing against the Colorado Rockies. The timetable for his return is uncertain.
Phillies are on a road trip and they are going to San Diego. They have scored 5 runs in three games. Bryce Harper was absent from the lineup on Sunday and Tuesday. Nick Castellanos and JT Realmuto have been struggling this season. They are 2021 All-Stars. The team needs someone to step up at the plate.
The Phillies are going to San Diego to play a game against Joe Musgrove. Ranger Suarez will start for the Phils against Musgrave, who has an 8-0 record this season.
