RHP Taijuan Walker (right shoulder impingement) Expected return: April 26-28 in San Diego Walker will make one more rehab start on April 21 with Triple-A Lehigh Valley before rejoining the Phillies’ rotation. If everything goes well, he will be in line to start next weekend in San Diego.

Spencer Turnbull is expected to move to the bullpen upon Walker’s return.

It should not come as a surprise. Walker might not have pitched in the 2023 postseason, but he went 15-6 with a 4.38 ERA in 31 starts. He threw 172 2/3 innings, which tied for 34th in baseball. Turnbull has not pitched more than 56 2/3 innings in a season since 2019. The Phillies want to monitor his workload.

“That’s a big part of it,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “You can’t add too many innings. If you get him to 100 innings this year, or maybe a little bit more, I think we’d be doing pretty good.”

The Phillies think they can give Turnbull enough work out of the bullpen to keep him stretched out, if he is needed to start again. Sending him to Triple-A is not an option. He has the right to refuse a Minor League assignment, which he almost certainly would considering how well he has pitched and how many teams need starting pitching. (Last updated: April 19)

RHP Luis F. Ortiz (sprained left ankle) Expected return: TBD Ortiz is scheduled to throw live BP on April 16 in Clearwater, Fla. He sprained his ankle leaping for a high chopper in his March 30 appearance. (Last updated: April 15)

RHP Dylan Covey (right shoulder strain) Expected return: TBD Covey is playing long toss. He has not thrown off a mound since his final Grapefruit League appearance on March 1. (Last updated: April 15)

RHP Michael Rucker (right hand arterial vasospasm) Expected return: TBD Rucker is starting to play catch as the numbness in his right middle finger has decreased. He last pitched on March 1. (Last updated: April 15)

C Rafael Marchán (lower back pain) Expected return: TBD Marchán has been sidelined since February because of a back injury. (Last updated: March 29)

The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers are going to face off in the NFL's first regular-season game in Brazil this September. Both teams could be facing a major problem that has nothing to do with traveling to the game, traffic congestion, nor field conditions.

There's a possibility neither the Eagles nor Packers will be allowed to wear their home uniforms for the Week 1 clash.

The Eagles-Packers game in Sao Paulo will be played at Corinthians Arena, which is home to the Brazilian soccer team Corinthians. The biggest rival for Corinthians is Palmeiras, who wear the color green.

So why is this a problem? Corinthians has an informal ban on wearing green, as a former player was actually fined by the club a few years ago for wearing green cleats (per the United Kingdom's Daily Mail). The Eagles and Packers -- both have green home jerseys.

Will a Brazilian soccer team actually prevent the Eagles and Packers from wearing green jerseys? That informal ban applies to players and fans in Corinthians Arena, as there are signs around the stadium stating the color is "forbidden."

What could the Eagles and Packers do regarding the situation? Both teams wear green, so the Eagles -- the designated home team -- can't wear white and have the Packers wear green. The Eagles do have a black alternate jersey to wear, making the Packers wear white, but that black alternate jersey also comes with a green helmet.

The Eagles had a black alternate helmet in 2022, but that was temporarily retired in 2023 in favor of the Kelly Green alternate helmet. The black helmet will be eligible to return in 2025 when the NFL is allowing the use of a second alternate helmet.

This could be nothing, but will be interesting how Corinthians Arena will react if one of the two teams playing wears green. Of course, the NFL has just three teams with green as their primary color -- the Eagles, Packers and New York Jets.

The answer probably won't be revealed until the game is played.

PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts spoke for the first time since offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, a longtime family friend, was fired and replaced by Kellen Moore.

Hurts said he was excited about working with Moore and learning a new system but was clear in his desire for continuity -- something that has eluded him for much of his football career.

"I think as a player, I definitely yearn for the sustainability and the consistency there. ... As a quarterback, I yearn for those things in a playcaller and a quarterback coach because you kind of see how consistency in those areas can breed excellence," Hurts said.

"I find myself in a situation very similar to college in terms of having a constantly revolving door in terms of coordinators and coaches. But I've always managed to have success in it, so that's always been a good thing, because you've been able to learn from people and apply it."

Hurts, who spent three years at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma, never had consecutive seasons with the same playcaller at the college level. That continued in the NFL until the 2021 and 2022 seasons, when he was paired with now-Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen. Hurts flourished, putting together an MVP-caliber campaign in 2022 and leading the Eagles to an appearance in Super Bowl LVII.

Johnson was promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator when Steichen was hired in Indianapolis. Philadelphia finished seventh in points per game (25.5) last season, but there was a disconnect in the visions of coach Nick Sirianni, Hurts and Johnson, which affected the offense's ability to land on an identity, a source said.

The offense struggled down the stretch as the Eagles lost six of seven following a 10-1 start. Johnson was fired and replaced by Moore, the former Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator, in February.

"I think the best of him. He's been a huge part of my development in my time here as an Eagle," Hurts said of Johnson, who was hired as assistant head coach and offensive pass game coordinator following multiple head-coaching interviews this offseason. "I think he's still more than capable of being a big-time head coach in this league. I think he's on trajectory to do that still. I just didn't think it was the right time for him, and that's that."

Moore is expected to be "in charge" of the offense, per Sirianni's phrasing, with Sirianni taking on a more macro-level role after being the chief offensive designer for his first three seasons in Philadelphia.

While the new system is still coming together, Hurts expressed excitement about working with Moore.

"I'm just all ears. I'm a sponge. I think there's some beauty in that," he said. "I'm just in sponge mode. I'm letting them do what it is they're going to do, and then we kind of adjust from there. I think the thing that we all have to understand is the importance of a foundation in something.

"So I want the coaches to declare their foundation in terms of what they want something to be, how they want it to look, and then obviously you're going to adjust from there."
