With September less than a month away, here are five early candidates to fill one of the additional two roster spots on the Philadelphia Phillies.

September rosters will look a little different this year compared to the most recent 162-game season, when the Philadelphia Phillies finished fourth in the NL East, with a .500 record.

In 2019 and previous seasons, teams could use as many players as they wished from their 40-man roster at any given time during the month.
