PHILADELPHIA -- Kyle Schwarber said earlier this week he was "excited to see the corn." Turns out, he was excited to hit some baseballs into it, too.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- In the classic film "Field of Dreams," it's the ghosts of former legends who emerge from the cornfield to find a baseball field waiting for them. On Thursday night, however, it was some of the game's best living legends who trekked through the corn on that same

DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- The movie tells you it's not just a baseball field in the middle of an Iowa cornfield -- it's a place where dreams come true. It's where "Shoeless" Joe Jackson got a chance to play baseball again. It's where "Moonlight" Graham finally got that elusive plate appearance

DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- The highlights from the third installment of the MLB at Field of Dreams Game presented by John Deere on Thursday night between the Phillies and Twins began long before the first pitch was even thrown -- and continued into the game itself. From all of the “Field

After four years of waiting, it’s back. Following an extensive refurbishment of one of America’s most famous ball fields, the MLB at Field of Dreams Game, presented by John Deere, returns for its third edition.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- The Phillies will have a day unlike any other in the long history of their franchise on Thursday. They'll wake up in St. Louis before boarding a flight to Iowa, where they will take on the Twins in the third installment of the MLB at Field of

DYERSVILLE, Iowa -- Bryson Stott may be nearing a class of his own when it comes to custom gear for special events. There was the No. 2 pencil bat he used at the 2023 Little League Classic. There were the personalized Elmo cleats for his daughter, Braxtyn, on Players' Weekend

PHILADELPHIA -- Don Mattingly said it best before he even sat down at the podium. "It feels like this should have some tequila in it," the Phillies interim manager joked as he grabbed a bottle of water. That feeling could have been based entirely on Sunday's game alone -- one

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies kicked off the week leading up to the 2026 MLB at Field of Dreams Game in fitting fashion on Sunday afternoon, when they gave four former players their "Moonlight" moment. For those unfamiliar with the movie -- or the history of the real-life player -- Archibald

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski acknowledged following Monday's Trade Deadline that he was “a little” concerned about the organization’s starting-pitching depth. By the end of the week, not one but two Phillies starters had exited their outings early due to injury. Andrew Painter appears to have

PHILADELPHIA -- Is Zack Wheeler's foot really coming off the rubber before he pitches the ball? Well, it depends who you ask -- or, perhaps, which camera angle you use. One day after the Blue Jays' complaints ultimately led to Toronto hitting coach David Popkins being ejected and Wheeler offering

PHILADELPHIA -- Zack Wheeler smirked and directed some choice words toward the Blue Jays' dugout. Toronto hitting coach David Popkins had just been ejected by home-plate umpire John Tumpane with two outs in the top of the fourth inning. But the Blue Jays had been jawing from the get-go of

PHILADELPHIA -- Chase Utley, you are a Wall of Famer. That became official on Friday night, when the Phillies inducted the legendary second baseman into their Toyota Wall of Fame in a special on-field ceremony -- one that was delayed approximately 90 minutes by inclement weather -- prior to the

PHILADELPHIA -- Luis Arraez isn't your typical cleanup hitter. So you can't blame Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly for initially debating the merits of putting the newcomer Arraez in the leadoff spot and reigning NL home run champion Kyle Schwarber in the No. 4 spot. Mattingly, however, ultimately settled on

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies once again find themselves holding their breath on Andrew Painter -- but this time for a different reason. The rookie right-hander appeared well on his way to turning in a second consecutive solid performance on Wednesday night until a left hamstring injury cut his outing short.

PHILADELPHIA -- It's only one game, but the newest chapter of Phillies baseball could not have gotten off to a better start. Newcomer Luis Arraez did exactly what the Phillies brought him in to do. Bryce Harper cleanly handled every ball hit his way -- of which there were many

PHILADELPHIA -- Interim manager Don Mattingly kicked around a few different ideas for the Phillies' new-look lineup. He toyed with the idea of having newcomer Luis Arraez hit leadoff. He thought about sliding Kyle Schwarber down to the cleanup spot. Ultimately, though, Mattingly decided on the following top four for

PHILADELPHIA -- Bryce Harper has been saying for years that he'd move back to the outfield if the right situation presented itself. Well, the Phillies are finally taking him up on it. The acquisition of Luis Arraez on Monday led to an overhaul of the Phillies' defensive alignment -- but

PHILADELPHIA -- Zack Wheeler is putting up some remarkable numbers this season -- even by his lofty standards. The biggest number to watch when he starts Monday night's series opener against the Marlins, though: Seven.

PHILADELPHIA -- Despite an uncharacteristically wild night, Phillies co-ace Cristopher Sánchez battled just enough to put his club in a good spot on Sunday night against the Yankees at Citizens Bank Park. It looked early on as if Sánchez might be on his way to another gem, but his pitch

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies needed a game like this one. They needed Bryson Stott's early homer. They needed a ticked-off Alec Bohm to come through with a big two-out bases-clearing double in the third -- and Stott's two-out bases-clearing double of his own three innings later.

PHILADELPHIA -- Unlike many aspiring big leaguers who take their career overseas, Brian Keller wasn't exactly struggling in the Minors. A 39th-round pick by the Yankees in the 2016 Draft, Keller had a 3.18 ERA over six Minor League seasons when he elected to go play in Japan for the

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies acquired an outfielder, added a bulk arm to the roster and shook up their bullpen in a flurry of moves prior to Saturday night's game against the Yankees at Citizens Bank Park. The first move came earlier in the day when they acquired outfielder Kameron Misner
