On June 9, 2026, Jhoan Duran made a rare error during a save opportunity in Toronto. The closer allowed the tying and winning runs to score in the ninth inning without recording an out, marking his first blown save after 16 successful attempts. Duran has pitched frequently, appearing in five of eight June games and 17 of 33 since returning from the injured list on May 5. Concerns are rising over his workload, as he has pitched in several high-leverage situations, leading to signs of fatigue. The Phillies have an off day followed by a crucial series in Milwaukee ahead.
