The addition of Roy Oswalt is starting to pay dividends for the Philadelphia Phillies. Two more additions to the lineup this week could be just as key. It’s possible Chase Utley and Ryan Howard will return to face the San Francisco Giants during this three-game series, which begins Tuesday night with Oswalt looking to build on his first win with the Phillies. Philadelphia is hopeful Howard and Utley will be available at some point this week as it tries to continue putting pressure on Atlanta atop the NL East. Howard, the team leader with 23 homers and 81 RBIs, is scheduled to come off the disabled list Tuesday, but soreness in his left ankle could cause a delay. Utley, a five-time All-Star, is rehabbing from a thumb injury with Class-A Clearwater and could be back as early as Tuesday. He had a .277 average with 11 homers and 37 RBIs before undergoing surgery in June.

The right-hander was acquired in a four-player trade from Houston on July 29, but needed three starts to get his first win for Philadelphia and he did it in impressive fashion. Oswalt allowed five hits with five strikeouts in seven innings of a 2-0 win over Los Angeles on Wednesday. He had been 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA in his two previous outings. Oswalt is 0-3 with a 3.15 ERA in three starts against the Giants this season, but those came with Houston and he was backed by only two total runs. He’ll be matched up with Barry Zito as this series between the NL wild-card leaders gets underway. Philadelphia is one percentage point ahead of San Francisco. The Phillies, winners of 18 of 23 after beating New York 3-1 on Sunday, are beginning a 10-game homestand, and they’ve won 15 of 17 at Citizens Bank Park.
