Harper: Phillies know exactly what to add by the trade deadline

Bryce Harper says it’s obvious what Philadelphia needs before the Aug. 3 trade deadline—bullpen help, lineup upgrades, or a starting pitcher. The Phillies sit 57-50, 2nd in the NL East and in the second wild-card spot, but have been poor when the top four starters aren’t on the mound (5-21 without Sánchez/Wheeler/Luzardo/Nola). Philadelphia ranks 16th in slugging (.402) with a .304 OBP. Harper, who has slumped to .163 with three homers in his past 24 games, says he hasn’t discussed moves with president Dave Dombrowski and simply wants the team to “get in” with the right pieces to reach the postseason.

Phillies extend fifth-rotation slump in 3-1 loss to Yankees

The Phillies fell 3-1 to the Yankees at Citizens Bank Park, extending their 11th straight loss in the fifth-rotation spot as Mayza and Keller delivered solid innings but the team’s defense and bullpen struggled, with two errors and missed scoring chances highlighting ongoing issues. The club again emphasizes a need for a back-end starter, a right-handed bat, and bullpen help ahead of the trade deadline.

Dodgers edge Phillies 2-1 as Wheeler shines but late baserunning proves costly

Zack Wheeler worked seven sharp innings with nine Ks, but a Max Muncy two-run homer in the fourth gave the Dodgers the lead. Alec Bohm collected three hits for Philadelphia, and the Phillies threatened in the bottom of the ninth after Bohm’s leadoff single, yet a baserunning blunder by JT Realmuto — caught in a rundown while Bohm’s replacement hopped a rundown — ended the rally and sealed a 2-1 Dodgers win. Tanner Scott earned the five-out save for L.A. as Philadelphia prepares for the series finale with Aaron Nola facing Eric Lauer.

Booed at the Home Run Derby, a teen calls it an honor

During the MLB Home Run Derby in Philadelphia, 17-year-old Reed Weiner, who was shagging balls with a friend, misread a pop-up and was booed by fans; the moment went viral, but Weiner says he loved the reaction and treats the boos as an honor, noting he often boos opponents at games and that the Derby experience was helped by a Phillies-connected setup for the shagging duties.

Gage Wood Turns Heads in Futures Game as Phillies Map His Path

Gage Wood, a 22-year-old Phillies pitching prospect, dazzled in the Futures Game with a 97.7 mph fastball and a broad mix of off-speed pitches, though he’s limited by a strict innings cap as the organization considers his future as a starter or possible late-season call-up; his development under staff and the Phillies’ long-term plan will determine how quickly he progresses from Double-A Reading.

Wheeler rejects All-Star nod, citing disrespect in the selection process

Zack Wheeler declined a replacement spot on the NL All-Star roster, saying the selection process disrespected him despite a 2.28 ERA over 14 starts; he would have pitched Sunday before the All-Star Game, but chose not to participate, while MLB added two NL replacements and Wheeler planned to spend the break with his family.

Spiteful Masterclass: Wheeler Dismantles Reds After All-Star Snub

Spiteful Masterclass: Wheeler Dismantles Reds After All-Star Snub

After being left off the All-Star roster, Zack Wheeler delivered seven innings with 14 strikeouts against the Reds, earning a 4-1 win for the Phillies. His agent had called the snub 'tone deaf,' and Wheeler later said the snub 'pisses me off' as motivation. The performance tied a career-high in K's, marked him as the first pitcher since Randy Johnson to post back-to-back 12+ strikeout starts against Cincinnati, and showcased how spite can fuel peak pitching—even with Philadelphia already having six All-Stars.

Harper Secures Legend Pick as All-Star Week Comes to Philly

MLB named Bryce Harper the Phillies' 'Legend Pick' for the 96th All-Star Game in Philadelphia, capping a season where he’s been among the NL’s top players after a public clash with commissioner Rob Manfred; the Dodgers have five selections headlined by Ohtani as DH, while the AL is led by the Yankees, Blue Jays and Rays with four apiece, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. won the fan vote but will skip the game to rest a back injury. The announcement also highlights several snubs and a wave of first-time All-Stars ahead of the July 14 game.

Phillies Surge Shakes NL East as Dodgers Remain No. 1

After a brutal 9-19 start that cost Rob Thomson his job, the Phillies have gone 38-18 with a +56 run differential since Don Mattingly took over, closing to three games behind the Braves in the NL East as the Dodgers stay No. 1; with Zack Wheeler back, Cristopher Sánchez pitching well, and Harper/Schwarber heating up, Philly looks primed for a late-season push as the front office gears up for a big trade-deadline move ahead of the All-Star Game in Philadelphia.
