Every National League East is having trouble getting rolling for one reason or another. Each club could use some help. Maybe they will find some in their farm systems. Here is a look at one prospect from each organization who could make an impact with his respective team this season:

The Minor League Baseball season begins Tuesday, marking the first time Minor League games have been played since September of 2019. There will be a lot to look forward to come Opening Night, including a robust slate of ballpark, team name and logo debuts. Six Minor League teams are set

PHILADELPHIA -- Somebody had to save the Phillies from a Gabe Kapler sweep Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park. Bryce Harper answered the call first. Andrew Knapp followed. Harper hit a game-tying home run in the seventh inning after the Phils blew a three-run lead, and Knapp hit a walk-off single

PHILADELPHIA -- Connor Brogdon grew up outside Fresno, Calif., a three-hour drive from Oracle Park in San Francisco. He watched a lot of Giants games growing up. It might be the only way to explain why Brogdon’s changeup vanished in the eighth inning Tuesday night in a 10-7 loss at

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies are running out of patience in center field. If their center fielders' play doesn’t improve soon, they will have to look elsewhere for help. Their struggles continued in Monday night’s 2-0 loss to Gabe Kapler’s Giants at Citizens Bank Park, where Mickey Moniak went 0-for-4 with

PHILADELPHIA -- Mickey Moniak is going to play, and he is going to play often now that he replaced Adam Haseley on the Phillies’ roster. Haseley left the team on Wednesday for personal reasons. It is unclear if he will return this season. Moniak batted .273 (6-for-22) with two doubles,

Though the Phillies have struggled to generate offense from the center-field position thus far this season, their shakeup in that spot Wednesday was due to personal, not performance, reasons. Adam Haseley has decided to leave the team for personal reasons for an undetermined amount of time, making the way for

Phillies right-hander Connor Brogdon already opened the season as one of manager Joe Girardi’s most trusted relievers. Archie Bradley’s oblique injury only elevated his status. “It increases Brogdon’s opportunity,” Girardi said before Monday’s series opener against the Mets at Citi Field was postponed because of rain. The teams will play

Phillies right-hander Archie Bradley said he does not know when he will rejoin the Phillies’ bullpen because he does not know the severity of his strained left oblique. But it is bad enough that the team placed him on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. “It really just kind of

Scott Kingery cannot fix his swing in the big leagues, so the Phillies sent him to Triple-A. They made the announcement on Sunday afternoon before their second-to-last Grapefruit League game in Clearwater, Fla. It came as something of a surprise, although there were indications in recent weeks the Phillies were

The Phillies’ eight-man bullpen is coming into focus. They granted right-handers Héctor Rondón and Iván Nova their releases on Thursday. Both had opt-out clauses, which they enacted Wednesday. The Phillies had until Saturday to decide, but neither stood a chance to make the team so they were released early. Rondón

While the Phillies farm system isn’t as strong as it was a few years ago, when it was a Top 10 farm system, that doesn’t mean the young players haven’t been making contributions. In 2020, it was top prospect Alec Bohm who stepped up in a big way during the

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Some pitches are more fun to throw than others. Spencer Howard loves to throw his changeup. Imagine his surprise last season when he lost the feel for it. “It was nonexistent,” Howard said Wednesday at BayCare Ballpark, where he allowed two runs in two innings in a

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- This spring’s conversations about Mickey Moniak feel different than the others. They are less about expectations, timetables and signs of incremental progress, and more about turning a long-shot (no-shot?) bid to make the Opening Day roster into Phillies manager Joe Girardi saying several times over the past

The Phillies acquired infielder C.J. Chatham from the Red Sox for a player to be named later or cash, the teams announced on Monday. Chatham ranked as the 14th-best prospect in Boston's system per MLB Pipeline, and he slots in at No. 23 in Philadelphia's system. “He’s on the verge

The Phillies have locked up one of the top catchers on the international market. According to industry sources, the club has agreed to a deal with catcher Rickardo Perez, No. 9 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 International Prospects List, for $1 million. The club also agreed to deal with outfielder

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies need a little bit of everything to improve their 40-man roster, so they took an infielder in the 2020 Rule 5 Draft on Thursday. • 2020 Rule 5 Draft results, pick by pick The Phillies selected Yankees shortstop Kyle Holder with the 11th overall pick. Holder,

PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies on Wednesday announced invitations to their four Minor League affiliates for 2021. The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Reading Fightin Phils, Jersey Shore BlueClaws and Clearwater Threshers will be part of MLB’s new player development structure. The Williamsport Crosscutters, formerly the Phillies’ Class A Short Season affiliate, will

PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies president Andy MacPhail said a few weeks ago that they could move forward without a new head of baseball operations in the short term, because the next several weeks would be mostly internal decisions about their own players. Friday was one of those days. They announced that

For a few years, the Phillies were a mainstay in the Top 10 farm system rankings, landing on that list five out of six times from midseason 2015 through the 2018 preseason ranking. Now, the system is in the bottom third of the top 30, thinned out by trades as
