Philadelphia Phillies

"Will they avoid another slow start? When will they start slugging?" The Phillies are on a roll, looking deeper than they did either of the last two seasons.

You can't begin a weekend much better than the Phillies did in San Diego with a slew of loud extra-base hits, standout defense and another strong performance from Aaron Nola.

Philadelphia Phillies Youngster Credits Superstar For His Offensive Surge After getting off to a concerning start, the Philadelphia Phillies young center fielder has turned things around with the help of a superstar teammate. Author: Brad Wakai Apr 26, 2024 In this story: Philadelphia Phillies Trea Turner MLB Johan Rojas The Philadelphia Phillies had some concerns about the viability of keeping their young center fielder, Johan Rojas, in their lineup on a consistent basis. Because his defense is so elite, he was always going to be in the mix for a starting job, but if they couldn't rely on him to do anything offensively, that would hurt the Phillies' overall profile. That was the case early on

Six-time MLB All-Star Chase Utley is ready to be a landlord in Southern California. Now retired, the slugging second baseman recently put his lovely five-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Los Angeles on the rental market for $42,000 a month. After spending 13 seasons starring for the Philadelphia Phillies, Utley spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, finishing his big-league career in 2018.

When Mike Costanzo, Jr., was born in 1983, his parents brought him home in a tiny Phillies jacket. About 22 years later, the Phillies drafted Costanzo, and when the third baseman appeared at a press conference at Citizens Bank Ballpark he held up that infant-sized tiny jacket he once wore. While his dreams of playing for the Phillies never actually panned out, he's finally made it back to the ballpark this season, albeit in a very different role via his family wine business. After bouncing around the Phillies farm system and a few brief stints in the majors, Constanzo retired from baseball in 2014 to become an insurance agent.

The Phillies are 8-2 over their last 10 games. Over the past week, they've posted a .281 batting average — third best in baseball — a .349 on-base percentage and a .455 slugging percentage, which both rank fourth. Three of their five starters have an ERA under 2.00: Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez and Spencer Turnbull (although, Turnbull may be moving to the bullpen soon). Reliever Seranthony Domínguez has allowed three home runs this season and all have come on his slider, the pitch he throws 26.4% of the time.

The Phillies jumped out to a quick lead and Zack Wheeler overpowered once again in a 5-0 win to split the 4-game series against the Reds.

CINCINNATI – When one of a team’s more dependable relievers comes into a game and throws two pitches to the backstop against the first hitter he faces, that’s not a good sign. Sure enough, Seranthony Dominguez did that in the sixth Wednesday night and went on to give up four runs against the Reds at Great American Ball Park, helping...

The Phillies' bullpen paid the price Wednesday night after manager Rob Thomson decided to pull Spencer Turnbull after five strong innings.

If you were wondering why Manny Machado has been gone recently, it's for a good reason.

Santiago Espinal had three RBIs, reliever Fernando Cruz pitched out a jam in the seventh inning and the Cincinnati Reds held on for a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
