Angels down two as Phillies roll into Anaheim

The Angels head into this one thinner than they'd like, having placed first baseman Nolan Schanuel on the 10-day injured list with a right intercostal muscle strain and outfielder Wade Meckler on the seven-day concussion list.

Keys to the game

Philadelphia's pitching staff for the series includes Jose Alvarado, Jonathan Bowlan, Jhoan Duran, Orion Kerkering, Jesus Luzardo, Tim Mayza, Alex McFarlane and Aaron Nola, a deep group the Phillies can lean on against a Los Angeles lineup that just lost two regulars.
Los Angeles counters from its own staff mix of Reid Detmers, Jose Fermin, Ryan Johnson, Ben Joyce, Yusei Kikuchi, George Klassen, Luke Murphy and Sammy Peralta as they try to hold their own at Angel Stadium.

Injury report

Who is unavailable, in each club’s own words to the league. A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is.
