MIAMI -- Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter grew up in South Florida, but he had never pitched at loanDepot park. He got the opportunity on Saturday to pitch in front of family, friends and a few thousand Phillies fans. But Painter struggled with his command in a 4-0 loss to the

MIAMI -- J.T. Realmuto is back in the Phillies’ lineup, and Garrett Stubbs is here to help in any way he can. The Phils on Saturday activated Realmuto from the 10-day injured list. He had been sidelined with back spasms. To make room on the 26-man roster, Dylan Moore was

MIAMI -- Zack Wheeler’s return to the Phillies’ rotation has gone as well as anybody could have hoped. Maybe it’s gone better. He helped the Phillies snap their 10-game losing streak in his season debut last Saturday in Atlanta. He helped the Phillies extend their winning streak to four games
