Gregorius (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius will be on the bench for the second straight game while he manages a sore elbow. Ronald Torreyes will pick up another start at shortstop in place of Gregorius, who will hope to be ready to go for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers following the Phillies' off day Monday.

Gregorius (elbow) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

Gregorius is unlikely to play Saturday against the Mets due to elbow soreness, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and a triple in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets, but he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning. Manager Joe Girardi revealed after the game that the 31-year-old's removal was due to a sore elbow, and he's considered doubtful Saturday. Ronald Torreyes is a strong candidate to fill in at shortstop if Gregorius is ultimately held out.

Gregorius has been experiencing occasional low energy levels and muscle weakness as a result of the medication he's been taking to combat his pseudogout condition in his elbow, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop said "some days, I will feel like I don't have anything because of the pills and everything I'm taking for this." The 31-year-old went on to note that doctors are instructing him to continue taking the medication because they are worried that the painful swelling in his right elbow will reemerge if he stops. While the Phillies haven't directly commented on how Gregorius' role may change going forward, his current physical state could lead to Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) and Ronald Torreyes handling a greater chunk of the shortstop reps during the season's closing months.

Gregorius went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran shortstop entered this game on a 2-for-22 slump but ended that woeful stretch in a big way, contributing with three of the team's runs and posting just his fourth multi-hit game since May 4. Gregorius chipped in with a two-run single in the seventh and later added a sac fly that scored J.T. Realmuto in the eighth. He's still struggling of late but this game should undoubtedly be a confidence booster for the 31-year-old.
