Philadelphia is 3-8 since the break and six games back in the NL East.
Bryce Harper asked the Phillies front office for roster reinforcement ahead of the trade deadline, but manager Don Mattingly has not backed the request. The Phillies are 3-8 since the All-Star break and sit six games behind Atlanta in the NL East.
Harper, 33, is 32 games into his 15th season with a .263 average (31-for-118), 6 home runs, and 19 RBI. The first baseman's plea signals internal tension as the team's mid-July window for deals tightens.
