The Philadelphia Phillies had a bizarre Sunday afternoon. Playing against the Toronto Blue Jays in Dunedin, Florida, in mid-May was perhaps the least crazy aspect of the 10-8 defeat.
The Joe Girardi-led team started the game with zero players available on their bench, with Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto and Didi Gregorius all sidelined with injuries but not placed on the injured list. The lone bench player slated to be available was catcher Rafael Marchan, however he entered the lineup at the last minute with Andrew Knapp being a late scratch.
