Knebel is 7-for-8 in save opportunities this season, posting a 2.51 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 14.1 innings.

Melts down in ninth Knebel (0-2) allowed three earned runs on four hits while striking out one across 0.2 innings to blow the save and take the loss Thursday against the Mets.

Impact Knebel entered the game in the midst of a ninth-inning rally by the Mets, though he still had a four-run lead to work with. However, he went on to allow four of the first five hitters he faced to reach base, capped off by an RBI double off the bat of Starling Marte to give the Mets an 8-7 lead. Knebel entered the game having allowed only one earned run across 10.1 innings, so this appears to just be one isolated terrible outing.

Returns from COVID-19 IL The Phillies reinstated Knebel (illness) from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Impact Philadelphia placed Knebel on the list prior to Tuesday's loss to the Mets after he reported flu-like symptoms, but his reinstatement a day later implies that he never tested positive for the virus. Unless the Phillies indicate otherwise, Knebel will likely be available for Wednesday's series finale, as he likely wouldn't have been activated if he was still feeling under the weather. Through his first two appearances with the Phillies, Knebel has struck out three and allowed two baserunners over two innings while converting his only save opportunity.

Awaiting COVID test results Knebel and the Phillies are waiting on the results of a COVID-19 test, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Knebel was unavailable with flu-like symptoms Monday and hit the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, but it looks as though the team isn't yet sure what his illness is. The symptoms alone are enough for him to hit the COVID-specific injured list, but he could return quickly if it turns out that he's dealing with the flu instead.

If he has indeed tested positive for the virus, he could miss over a week. Brad Hand got the save in his absence Monday, though opportunities could also go to Jeurys Familia or Seranthony Dominguez if the Phillies face a run of righties in the ninth inning.
