After losing three of four to the Diamondbacks, Phillies manager Rob Thomson isn't showing the urgency some fans want to see. But there's no need to be concerned; he's the right man to lead this team through the slump.

With the Phillies suffering through a month-long 8-17 slump and having already lost their lead in the National League, there are three obvious problems they need to fix on both sides of the ball before it's too late.

Taijuan Walker is scheduled to return to the Phillies rotation on Tuesday. The veteran will be an important piece for the Phillies down the stretch, but only if he can be halfway decent and eat some innings.

Yunior Marte has not been good, and after his outing on Saturday against the Diamondbacks, the Phillies need to make a change. His embarrassing performance should be the final straw for the Phillies to send Marte to Triple-A and give Max Lazar a shot.

Ranger Suárez's time on the IL could benefit the Phillies starter, as he gets some rest before the stretch run and into the postseason. The Phillies need him to get healthy and regain his form from the beginning of the season.
