I WANT TO LEAVE FOR HIM TO STAY: Phillies Officially Confirm 3 Key Players Departure After Multiple Injury Setback

However, there *are* several verified updates about Phillies players with serious injury issues or being placed on the IL (Injured List), which could be related to speculation or rumors. I can pull together an article‐style piece summarizing what *is* known, and where things are murky. If you like, I can also check for sources locally (e.g. Philly press) to see if there are recent official statements that haven’t widely circulated.

Here’s a draft article based on what I *did* find:

## Phillies Faces Mounting Injury Crisis: What’s Really Going On

The Philadelphia Phillies are grappling with multiple injury issues that leave the team’s depth and postseason hopes on uncertain ground. While nothing has been confirmed about three key players departing the team, the series of setbacks is serious enough to raise both concerns and speculation.

### Major Injury Updates

* **Aaron Nola**: Moved to the *60‑day injured list* after a ribcage stress reaction. Earlier, he sprained his right ankle; the rib issue arose when he tried returning. ([ESPN.com][1])
* **Alec Bohm**: He has been dealing with a bruised foot during spring training. There have been hopes of return, but the uncertainty persists. ([ClutchPoints][2])
* **Max Kepler**: Also has a bruised lower back; his status remains TBD. ([ClutchPoints][2])
* **Brandon Marsh**: Suffered a bruised left knee but there was a positive update suggesting he is expected to play soon. ([sporttom][3])

### Speculation vs Official Word

* There are no verified reports (in major credible outlets) that Philly has *officially confirmed* that these players are leaving the team. Some headlines or fan sites have speculated departures, but these seem to be based on injury severity or future trade/risk possibilities, not official statements.
* For example, Bohm, Kepler, and Marsh are mentioned in injury updates, but not in announcements of departure. ([ClutchPoints][2])

The Impact

If any of these players were to miss extended time—or if they indeed depart—the Phillies would lose significant contributions:

* Nola is a frontline starter. His absence weakens rotation stability.
* Bohm has been productive offensively (doubles, solid average) and dependable in the infield.
* Kepler and Marsh provide outfield depth and offensive capability.

### What Fans Should Watch For

* Official statements from the Phillies’ front office, especially through their PR or official Twitter/X accounts.
* Roster moves: players being transferred to the 60‑day IL is often a sign of longer‐term absence.
* Any trade rumors or reports: unhappy players or those wishing to leave might make headlines.
* Spring training reports and rehab news: these will show whether these injuries are improving or worsening.
