Harper and Schwarber spark the Phillies to a 9-4 win over the reeling Yankees, who await Judge news
Trea Turner drove in two runs and Edmundo Sosa also homered for the Phillies, who opened a 9-1 lead. Philadelphia started the day a half-game behind the NL East-leading New York Mets.
Schwarber had six RBIs and Turner was 6 for 11 as Philadelphia outscored New York 21-9 in the first two games of the three-game series.
Ranger Suárez (8-4) allowed one run and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings with eight strikeouts and one walk, throwing a season-high 108 pitches.
Judge was out of the Yankees' starting lineup for just the second time this season. His elbow has been bothering him since a throw Tuesday at Toronto, and manager Aaron Boone said the two-time AL MVP was sent for a scan Saturday morning.
New York began the day a season-high 5 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Toronto and dropped to 3-5 since the All-Star break.
Schwarber doubled after second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. bobbled Turner's potential inning-ending, double-play grounder in the seventh, Chisholm's 12th error this season.
Ryan McMahon went 1 for 3 with a walk in his Yankees debut, a day after the third baseman was acquired from Colorado for a pair of pitching prospects.
Marcus Stroman (2-2) allowed four runs, five hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings.
Sosa hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Allan Winans and Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run drive against Daniel Robert in the bottom half.
Sosa left with a bruised back after the third baseman was elbowed by left fielder Brandon Marsh in a collision while catching Chisholm's seventh-inning popup.
New York is 21-28 following a 35-20 start.
New York LHP Carlos Rodón (10-7, 3.10) and Philadelphia RHP Zack Wheeler (9-3, 2.39) start Sunday's series finale.

Steph Curry says NBA players are 'underpaid' amid Micah Parsons-Cowboys trade buzz
WNBA players recently took a massive step towards pay parity by wearing t-shirts reading 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' during All-Star weekend ahead of the July 19 game. Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry has now chimed in on the debate during a recent appearance on the '360 with Speedy' podcast, where he suggested that NBA players' salaries are not in line with the value they add to the team. Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry listens during a news conference(AP) Stephen Curry pitches better salaries for the NBA Curry is set to take home $59.6 million in salary this season, as reported by beIN SPORTS. However, he still feels the figure falls short of the value he and many other underpaid players add to their respective teams. "I think, because of the way the CBA is structured right now, we can't participate in equity. And that's a big deal because it is a partnership with ownership. It's a partnership with the league, and we're on the short term of the revenue,' Curry said on the podcast. He then went on to explain his point by adding, 'Those (contract) numbers sound crazy, but what the league is doing, from whatever era you want to compare it to, to now, is probably 10x that. The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're playing is part of why I would say yes, we are underpaid, because we want to be able to participate in that rise.' 'Hopefully, sooner than later, those rules change a little bit so that players can participate in the upside of team equity, the league, valuations, and all that type of stuff. Just because I think we deserve it.' Where do NBA players stand in the athletes' pay ranks? When asked by host Speedy Morman if online figures suggesting his net worth stood at $240 million were true, he swiftly changed the topic by saying that he wasn't sure and didn't care about it. Although Forbes counts NBA players as some of the highest-earning athletes, Curry still feels there is room for improvement and believes that players' salaries haven't increased at the same pace as the league and teams' evaluations have over the years. Given the existing discourse on paying WNBA players at the same level as their male counterparts, Curry's views add a new dimension to this debate. Posted by Stuti Gupta

Did the Yankees hide the full extent of Aaron Judge's injury? Experts and analysts believe so
The New York Yankees placed a key player, Aaron Judge, on the 10-day injured list last Saturday due to a flexor strain. At the time, the team's manager, Aaron Boone, reassured fans by saying that the injury would take no longer than 10 days to heal and Judge would return to the off-field soon in a designated hitter (DH) role. Injured New York Yankees player Aaron Judge looks on from the dugout during the game against the Tampa Bay Rays.(AP) However, as per the claims of a Yankees analyst for Pinstripes Nation, Esteban Quiñones, the team may have severely underplayed the extent of Judge's injury. What is the full extent of Aaron Judge's injury? As per Quiñones's report, the team's public approach to Judge's elbow injury "mirrors a documented pattern of Yankees injury mismanagement spanning nearly a decade, where initial optimism consistently gives way to extended absences for star player. Will Carroll, sports injury expert and author of the Under the Knife newsletter, spoke about his analysis of the full extent of Aaron Judge's injury during an appearance on the 'Foul Territory' podcast. "This is worse than a UCL tear. For a hitter, a flexor tendon — which is what you need to rotate the bat, maintain grip — is everything. This doesn't heal quickly and often takes a month or even more,' he said. Also read: Austin Slater vs Aaron Judge: Why Yankees' new trade deal makes sense ahead of deadline Carroll further explained the matter in Monday's copy of his newsletter by stating that even if his ulnar collateral ligament had been ruptured, Judge could have continued to play. "Where a UCL isn't involved in the swing, the flexor really is," he wrote. "A flexor strain changes everything for a power hitter like Judge. These are the muscles that let a hitter squeeze the bat, hold it steady, and then drive it through the zone." What are the Yankees doing about it? Although it looks more serious than what the team has put forth, Yankees Go Yard writer Adam Weinrib believes that Carroll's analysis does involve some degree of 'hyperbole'. However, due to the team's reported trade deadline interest in several hitters, including "utility man Willi Castro of the Twins, old friend Harrison Bader (also on Minnesota's roster), and Austin Slater, a lefty-mashing outfielder currently with the White Sox', Weinrib buys into the myth of Judge's condition taking longer to heal. The team's heightened interest in position players over pitchers adds fuel to these doubts. By Stuti Gupta
