Kyle Schwarber says he doesn't expect to sign an in-season contract extension with the Philadelphia Phillies, despite the mutual interest.

The Philadelphia Phillies were among the teams listed as a possible landing spot for Steven Kwan, but they could now pivot to this option from the Angels.

Red Sox bats were silenced by Cristopher Sánchez, who tossed a complete game allowing four hits while striking out 12.

Sánchez sent out an emphatic scream when he struck out Rob Refsnyder on his textbook changeup, a yell that signaled from the naked eye his night was over. Masterful for eight innings, Sánchez had 10 strikeouts to zero walks at that point.

The Philadelphia Phillies are running out of time to extend slugger Kyle Schwarber before he hits free agency, and owner John Middleton expressed his opinion.

In a game deemed the MLB Pipeline Prospect Showcase, Justin Crawford (PHI No. 3/MLB No. 45) certainly put his best foot forward, acting as the ideal leadoff man one step away from the Majors in the Phillies system.

With the bullpen as a recurring problem and a club-record payroll this season, acquiring another arm at the trade deadline could come at a hefty price for the Phillies.
