SAN FRANCISCO -- Nobody is trying to overreact here. It’s only 12 games, but the Phillies know 12 games still mean something. They still count. They matter. They also know people are frustrated by their 6-6 start, which included Wednesday’s 5-0 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park.

The Phillies are ready to defend their NL East crown, and PHILLIES.TV is your guide to all the action all season long.

SAN FRANCISCO – Zack Wheeler made his third rehab start on Wednesday night in Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He will make at least one more.

Not every star rookie makes an Opening Day roster. Take last year, for example. The most devastating rookie in baseball, Nick Kurtz, didn't join the Athletics until April 23 and slashed .290/.383/.619 with 36 homers in 117 games. Cade Horton arrived in May for the Cubs and posted a 2.67

SAN FRANCISCO -- Cristopher Sánchez didn’t help himself on Tuesday night, but he deserved better anyway. He wasn’t his Cy Young-caliber self in the Phillies’ 6-0 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park. He allowed 11 hits in five-plus innings, the second-most hits he had allowed in his career. He

SAN FRANCISCO -- Phillies catcher. J.T. Realmuto is one of the toughest players in baseball, but he left Tuesday night’s 6-0 loss to the Giants at Oracle Park shortly after Rafael Devers fouled a ball off the top of Realmuto’s right foot in the first inning. The Phillies said that

SAN FRANCISCO – The last time Bryce Harper played at Oracle Park, he told everybody that he’s still “one of the best in baseball.” He looked like that guy again on Monday. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBIs and a walk in the Phillies’ 6-4 comeback victory over

DENVER -- Move over Artemis II – you’ve got moonshot company from the Mile-High City. The Phillies were looking to notch a 10th straight tilt in Colorado on Sunday, having won nine in a row against the Rockies. A dominant pitching performance from Tomoyuki Sugano and a trio of home

The baseball season is back and 2026's Opening Weekend was certainly one for the books. There was no shortage of action, drama, and the introduction of the ABS challenge system still has the league buzzing. But, it was the rookies that stole the show. Chase DeLauter (CLE No. 2 prospect)

Zack Wheeler wasn't quite as sharp in his second rehab outing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday night -- but his defense also didn't do him any favors. The three-time All-Star was one out away from finishing off three scoreless innings against the Durham Bulls before things went a bit

DENVER -- Prior to Saturday’s game against the Rockies at Coors Field, Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that Jesús Luzardo mostly pitched well in his season debut against the Rangers on March 29, and that outside of two pitches that cost him five runs, the left-hander was pretty sharp. That

DENVER -- After waiting nearly six months through a cold winter, baseball brings with it a sense of warmth and, if you’re a Phillies fan, an expectation of a real shot at winning the World Series.

Spring Training is always a testing ground for new pitches. It seems like every pitcher is trying something new with their arsenal. The regular season is another story. New pitch experiments from the spring evaporate as quickly as they came -- see Garrett Crochet and his new splitter, for example,

With the Minor League season kicking off, here's where the Phillies’ Top 30 Prospects are projected to start:

1. Aidan Miller (MLB No. 21), SS -- Injured (back)
2. Andrew Painter (MLB No. 26), RHP -- Philadelphia (MLB)

PHILADELPHIA -- Justin Crawford flung his helmet into the air. He had just laced a walk-off single to right field in the 10th inning of Wednesday’s 6-5 victory over the Nationals at Citizens Bank Park, capping a remarkable week that he never could have imagined. But he ran with it,

The season has just begun, but several pitchers put themselves on the radar with electric debuts. Whether they are young hurlers that might be taking a step forward, veteran pitchers looking for bounceback seasons or unheralded pitchers potentially flashing a new upside, we had plenty of pitchers with impressive first

With games kicking off on Thursday at both levels of A ball as well as Double-A, and Triple-A entering its second week of play, the 2026 Minor League season is now fully underway. That means we can finally see all of our favorite prospects performing on the field. We know

The 2026 Minor League Baseball season has begun, which means its time for a six-month onslaught of theme nights, giveaway items and celebrity appearances. It's time for promotions, in other words, the lifeblood of the industry. Whatever it takes to get butts in seats.

The White Sox have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 Draft, which comes with an assigned value of $11,350,600, the largest since the bonus-pool era began in 2012. Yet it's the Pirates who possess the largest overall pool at $19,130,700, another record. MLB informed the teams of the

PHILADELPHIA -- Cristopher Sánchez pitched so well on Opening Day that the Rangers called him a “bonafide superstar.” But even superstars aren’t perfect every day. Sánchez didn’t have his best stuff in Wednesday afternoon’s 6-5 comeback win in 10 innings over the Nationals at Citizens Bank Park, grinding through 5
