The Phillies got a scare to closer Jhoan Duran when he was struck by a comebacker in the ninth inning Friday night. But, the team reported he underwent X-rays, which came back negative.

The Los Angeles Dodgers were not as aggressive at this year's trade deadline, passing up top relievers like Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran.

The early returns on their trade deadline acquisitions is pretty darn good, as the Phils have opened a 5.5-game lead over the Mets in the NL East thanks in large part to dominating closing performances from Jhoan Duran, and outfield contributions from Harrison Bader.
