Phillies news: Jesus Luzardo, stars, Max Scherzer

Following a crucial victory that secured their postseason ticket, the Philadelphia Phillies traveled to Atlanta to gear up for their upcoming wild card matchup against the Braves. Jesus Luzardo returned to active status and could potentially take the mound as the opening game starter on Tuesday.

In other baseball developments, the Houston Astros captured the American League West crown yet again, and major league officials reportedly discussed the possibility of staging a matchup inside a national park alongside the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Max Scherzer delivered a strong performance for the Blue Jays by working into the eighth inning, raising questions about whether that appearance might mark his final outing in the major leagues.

Elsewhere in the league, the Mariners announced that Dan Wilson will not return to manage the ballclub next season following their late-year collapse.
