PHILADELPHIA -- Don Mattingly is not worried about Zack Wheeler. Neither is Zack Wheeler. Wheeler once again started out looking like his old self in Tuesday night’s 6-4 win over the Marlins -- only to fade away in the fifth inning.

PHILADELPHIA -- Kyle Schwarber knows what it's like to grow up in a family of first responders – and he also knows that experience isn’t the same for everyone. "I always say that I was one of the lucky ones who got to say 'Hi' and 'Bye' to my dad

PHILADELPHIA -- Zack Wheeler had another off night by his standards. The three stars atop the Phillies’ order -- Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper -- went hitless until Schwarber singled in the eighth. Shutdown closer Jhoan Duran was unavailable after throwing 43 pitches over the past two days.

PHILADELPHIA -- There may be no better pitcher in the world than Cristopher Sánchez when he's throwing off the mound at Citizens Bank Park. That's great news for the Phillies' postseason chase, although -- if they do qualify -- it may not help them much in the postseason itself. We’ll

MINNEAPOLIS -- The first time we saw Andrew Painter pitch in a Phillies uniform came against the Twins in a March 1, 2023, Spring Training game in Fort Myers. It took less than one inning for players on both teams to take notice of the 19-year-old. Painter's first pitch was

MINNEAPOLIS -- Trea Turner is just fine. Despite leaving Saturday night’s 9-1 win over the Twins after fouling a ball off his right knee, Turner said the whole ordeal -- one that left him on the ground for a few moments -- looked much worse than it actually was.

MINNEAPOLIS -- It's been an eventful couple of weeks for Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm. So much of the attention following the Luis Arraez trade was, understandably, placed on Bryce Harper's move to the outfield and Arraez himself. But as Arraez pointed out when he arrived in Philadelphia, it shouldn't

PHILADELPHIA -- Though the Phillies were aggressive in their pursuit for upgrades at this year’s Trade Deadline, they managed to keep the top of their farm system mostly intact. Philadelphia navigated the Deadline without moving any of its top three prospects (Gage Wood, Aidan Miller and Francisco Renteria) or perhaps

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

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 -- 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.
