- Wednesday’s rain forced postponement of the series’ second game, creating a day-night doubleheader Thursday at Citizens Bank Park.
- Cristopher Sánchez (4-1, 3.17 ERA) is scheduled to start the 1:05 p.m. opener and Zack Wheeler (6-1, 2.42 ERA) will take the mound at 6:45 p.m.
- Bryce Harper exited Tuesday’s 2-0 win after taking a 95.3 mph fastball off his right elbow, suffered a bruise and had a negative X-ray result.
