Phillies Add Lefty Backhus Ahead of Nationals Series

Phillies bounce back from Mets series with a boost: lefty Kyle Backhus, sidelined since April, is set to return to the bullpen Monday after rehab games. At 28 with a 4.63 ERA, he’s not a star, but another lefty arm adds depth as Philly (second in NL East) heads to Washington for a tough four-game series against a surprisingly strong Nationals squad. First pitch Monday at 6:45 PM ET. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
