The Phillies gave Hellickson a qualifying offer last winter, probably believing he'd reject it after a solid 2016 season and pursue a longer-term deal elsewhere. The Phillies just aren't good enough to do that.Here are some things to consider.Since his batting average bottomed out at.217 May 30, Herrera has hit.328 with 20 doubles, a.370 on-base percentage and a.920 OPS. Prior to arriving in the "City of Brotherly Love" ahead of the 2017 campaign, Beato initially suited up for the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves along the way.

Velasquez allowed four runs in three-plus innings Monday as the Phillies fell to the Astros. He struck out nine and walked one.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Adrian Beltre singled to get within one hit of 3,000 for his career in Texas' loss to Baltimore.

Iglesias' second run-scoring double tied the game at 3 in the seventh.

CHICAGO - Pinch-hitter Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning for the go-ahead run and Cleveland won its ninth straight game.

SEATTLE - Yovani Gallardo took a shutout into the sixth inning and Seattle beat NY, ending Jacob deGrom's eight-start winning streak. Just two nights later, the team traded Howie Kendrick to the Nationals and Jeremy Hellickson to the Orioles. He has a 4.73 ERA with the Phillies and a 5.50 FIP and has given up 22 home runs in 112? innings. In 24 of his 27 games, he has posted a 3.09 ERA while allowing 15 earned runs in 3.2 combined innings pitched in the other three outings. The Orioles will send Hyun-soo Kim, Garrett Cleavinger, and global slot bonus money in the deal. Lasting a mere two-thirds of an inning with the Phillies before hitting the 10-day disabled list, he registered one strikeout during his brief appearance on July 29.

Dickey is 6-7 with a 4.31 ERA this season, and he is 6-5 with a 2.98 ERA in 14 career starts against the Phillies - the fourth-lowest ERA against any opponent he has started against more than five times.
