Bryson Stott - Finding power stroke in May Stott went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 6-0 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Following an abysmal start to the season at the plate, which saw his post a .534 OPS through April, Stott is certainly finding his groove during the month of May. Sunday marked his fourth homer of the month, and he's hit safely in 11 of his last 16 games. Stott is batting .250 with nine extra-base hits, 16 RBI and four stolen bases over 56 at-bats during that stretch, raising his season OPS to .653, and the door is open for the infielder to work his way up Philadelphia's batting order a bit.

Zack Wheeler - Continues dealing in third win Wheeler (3-0) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing no runs on four hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out eight.

Impact Wheeler was already enjoying a successful comeback from last year's shoulder surgery, but Sunday's performance might have been his best of the campaign so far. The 35-year-old right-hander matched a season high in punchouts, and he also submitted his first scoreless start of the season. Wheeler, who has now logged four consecutive quality starts, will be trying to keep the good times rolling in a favorable home matchup against Cleveland for his next scheduled appearance. He has a sparkling 1.99 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB across 31.2 innings.

Paul Skenes - Rare dud in third loss Skenes (6-3) took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out seven.

Impact After twirling eight innings of scoreless ball in back-to-back starts, Skenes stumbled in a tough spot against the red-hot Phillies on Sunday. Three of his hits allowed went for extra bases, and the All-Star right-hander gave up more than three runs for the first time since his disastrous Opening Day start against the Mets. Despite Sunday's hiccup, Skenes still holds a stellar 2.62 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 63:8 K:BB over 55 innings ahead of his next scheduled outing in Toronto.

Nick Yorke - Headed back to Triple-A Yorke was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Phillies, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
