One of the best offensive players in the Philadelphia Phillies lineup this season is Jean Segura. Although he struggled in April batting only.228, Jean was at an all-star level by the end of May with an OPS+ of 125. Jean Segura has a good bat, but it seems that his clubhouse presence is not the …
The Philadelphia Phillies have signed reliever Jeurys Familia to a one-year contract. The deal is worth up to $6 million, and the physical is still pending. Familia, 31, has spent all but two months of his career with the New York Mets. During his two seasons in New York, he racked up 94 saves, including …
Since joining the Philadelphia Phillies at the July 30 trade deadline, Kyle Gibson has pitched consistently for the team. He matched his longest outing of the season Sunday, allowing just one run in eight innings. In addition, he has compiled 13 groundouts. Despite his strong performance, Gibson has not yet been named a starter for …
The Phillies have added left-handed closer Brad Hand to their bullpen, making him a free agent acquisition. The left-hander, who turned 32 on Sunday, began his career with the Miami Marlins.

The Phillies have placed Didi Gregorius on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 5. The team has a need for shortstop, and if Gregorius cannot be traded, they might need to find a replacement.

But he was the hardest-working pitcher in baseball last season, throwing 213.1 innings. And even though Wheeler …
If you’re looking for a player to keep an eye on, you’ve probably heard of Rhys Hoskins, who is hitting.283 with a.336 OPS and nine home runs. Unfortunately, the season has been plagued by injuries, including an elbow injury that occurred prematurely in 2020 and a core/abdomen issue in 2021. Those season-ending injuries have hurt …
The Corey Knebel Philadelphia Phillies have reached an agreement on a contract for the pitcher. Knebel was a key piece of the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen last year, but missed nearly four months due to a lat problem.

The Philadelphia Phillies have brought back Johan Camargo from Triple-A Gwinnett, who is expected to be their new third baseman. Camargo has shown good fielding skills and has shown he is an upgrade over most third basemen. He has played all infield positions, including shortstop, but has not played the position in years. He is …
After missing nearly two months with a fractured right hand, Kyle Moniak will make his season debut Thursday in center field. Though he lacks much fantasy appeal outside of NL-only formats, Kyle Moniak should provide additional outfield depth for the Phillies. While he is still a relatively young player, Moniak should eventually be one of …
