The Philadelphia Phillies placed third baseman Alec Bohm, right-handers Aaron Nola and Connor Brogdon and left-hander Bailey Falter on the COVID-related injured list Sunday morning. Nola, 28, had been scheduled to start Sunday afternoon's contest in Boston, the Phillies' final game before the all-star break. Instead, right-handed reliever Brandon Kintzler (2-1, 7.54 earned-run average) will serve as the opener against the Red Sox for the rubber match of the three-game series. Bohm, 24, is batting .243 with six homers and 41 RBI in 85 games in his second season with the Phillies. Falter, 24, made his major league debut on April 25 and is 1-0 with a 4.58 ERA in eight relief appearances.
