Galvis is expected to sign with the NPB's Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, Yahoo Japan reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Galvis has never been confused for a star, he's better than most players who head overseas. The 32-year-old has spent most of his career as a low-end regular and looked like he was still capable of that in 2021, as his .242/.302/.407 slash line was good for a career-best 90 wRC+, a perfectly adequate number for a shortstop. Given the uncertainty that comes with MLB's lockout, however, it's likely he saw a guaranteed deal in Japan as far more appealing than waiting out the labor strife stateside, especially as he wasn't necessarily guaranteed a big-league deal once the situation eventually resolves.

Galvis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-4 loss to the Marlins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis took Miami starter Pablo Lopez deep in the second inning to get Philadelphia on the board but failed to contribute in his other at-bats. The 31-year-old concludes the season with a .242/.302/.407 slash line, 14 home runs, 53 runs and 40 RBI in 104 games between Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Galvis isn't starting Thursday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last five games as he's in the midst of an 0-for-17 slump at the plate. Ronald Torreyes will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Galvis isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis has gone 0-for-17 with eight strikeouts across his last four appearances, and he'll head to the bench for the second time in the last four games. Ronald Torreyes will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Galvis will sit Saturday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis has emerged as the Phillies' primary third baseman, moving ahead of Ronald Torreyes. He'll hit the bench Saturday after going hitless in two straight games. Torreyes will be rewarded with a start after hitting a pinch-hit homer in Friday's victory.

Galvis is starting at third base and batting sixth Friday against the Mets, marking his fourth start in the past five games.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis has a .286/.359/.686 slash line with four homers, two doubles, six RBI and eight runs through 12 games in September, and he appears to have usurped Ronald Torreyes as the Phillies' primary third baseman. Galvis should remain a lineup regular down the stretch, especially if he continue to maintain a hot bat.

Galvis went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old went yard off of Alec Mills in the fourth inning, scoring Andrew McCutchen in the process. It was his 13th blast of the year. Since the start of the month, he has four homers and six RBI in 32 at-bats.

Galvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis started at three different infield spots -- second base, third base and shortstop -- across each of the past three contests, finishing 2-for-9 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs. His versatility and switch-hitting ability should afford him a handful of starts per week the rest of the season, but Galvis isn't expected to play on an everyday basis while all of Jean Segura, Ronald Torreyes and Didi Gregorius are healthy.

Galvis went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis blasted his 11th homer of the season with a two-run bomb off starter Elieser Hernandez in the fourth inning, but he also crossed home plate in extras when he scored the winning run following an RBI single from Odubel Herrera. The second baseman is only hitting .246 with a .718 OPS on the season, but he's gone 4-for-12 (.333) with two homers, three RBI, a double and four runs scored in four September games.

Galvis (quadriceps) was reinstated from the injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Galvis is ready to go after missing just shy of two months with a strained quadriceps. He's not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays and is likely to serve as primarily a utility man down the stretch. When he gets into a game, it will be his first in a Phillies uniform since the end of the 2017 season but his 643rd overall, as he spent his first six major-league seasons with the team. Enyel De Los Santos, whom the Phillies acquired for Galvis in a trade with the Phillies back in December of 2017, was optioned to clear a spot for him on the roster.
