The Philadelphia Phillies are sitting 10 games above .500, but one insider says the injury to Bryce Harper and a flawed roster should worry people.

Relief pitching miscues are costing the Phillies big time. The front office is expected to be active in looking for pitchers to add to the mix ahead of next month's MLB trade deadline.

But Destiny Lugardo of Phillies Nation observed that Kemp was taking reps at first base with infield coach Bobby Dickerson ahead of the team's Tuesday game with the Cubs. Those reps could hint at plans the team has to move Kemp to first in Harper's absence, a position he's played in a dozen Triple-A games this season.

The Philadelphia Phillies are urged to take their time in bringing superstar first baseman Bryce Harper back from injury.

The Philadelphia Phillies have a major roster gap with the bullpen. How they fill it will be based on Aaron Nola's health and how soon he may come back.

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola suffered another setback in his return to pitch when an MRI showed he has an injury in his right ribcage and will be shut down for two weeks.

Nola was already having perplexing problems on the mound. The guy who has won 105 games with a career ERA of 3.78 for the Phillies is currently 1-7 with a 6.61 ERA this season. He had signed a seven-year, $172 million contract prior to last season.
