Writer’s Roundtable: Buying or Selling at the Deadline?
It might seem a bit early, but the MLB trade market will start developing soon, so imagine for a moment that you are the Phillies General Manager. Which players are you actively shopping at this year’s trade deadline? Are there any players in the organization that you would consider “unavailable” if another team came calling? Or are you waiting until a certain date, or a certain...
Mike Stutes Officially Added To Roster, Will Join Phillies In Washington, D.C.

Red Sox rumors: Jonathan Papelbon reunion 'not far-fetched'
The Boston Red Sox allowed long-time closer Jonathan Papelbon to exit via free agency two offseasons ago. He's continued to perform at a high level with the Philadelphia Phillies, while the Red Sox closing situation has been mired by injury and ineffectiveness. While it might not seem likely to happen, one National League general manager told Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe...
Doc or Schill?
The Phillies will pay tribute to the past later this summer, with Brad Lidge retiring in red pinstripes a day before Curt Schilling is inducted into the Wall of Fame. Schilling, the Phillies ace from 1992 until midway through the 2000 season, won three World Series rings after leaving Philadelphia but produced two of his best seasons here and provided long-lasting memories with his...
Lee Pitches Another Gem
In a year full of drama for the Phillies, Cliff Lee stepping on the mound is a sight for sore eyes. The same can be said when he steps to the plate as well. In a complete game shut-out of the Marlins last night, Lee also collected 2 hits, giving him a team-leading .316 batting average. And his .350 on-base percentage is second only to Michael Young (.378) among active Phillies.
Simply...

Phillippe Aumont Optioned to Lehigh Valley
According to Chris Branch, Phillippe Aumont is headed to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Todd Zolecki states a corresponding roster move will be made Friday. Aumont has a 4.15 ERA and has his highest BB/9 IP of his career (6.92). No word on who will take his place but the Phillies could turn to either an infielder such as Cesar Hernandez (.320/.386/.456 heading into today for Lehigh Valley...
Roy Halladay begins rehab
The Philadelphia Phillies now have a rough timetable for the return of star pitcher Roy Halladay, that would be late August. This could be taken as good news for fans but that’s only if they’re still in the playoff race. You also have to think the return is set for late August, so anything can happen over the next three months.
Phillies right-hander Roy Halladay reported Monday...
Breaking News- Chase Utley DL Bound
The Phillies haven't announced the roster move yet, but I have it on good authority that Chase Utley is heading to the disabled list. By "good authority", I mean hunch, and by "hunch", I mean that I'm just making this **** up. Instead of heading to Washington with the team for the series against the Nationals, Utley is going to Philly to have an MRI...

Utley DL Stint Appears Likely
(AP)
According to the beats down in Miami with the Phillies, it appears likely Chase Utley will find himself on the disabled list soon. From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Chase Utley swung for the first time in batting practice Tuesday and it did not feel right. He took a second hack, then another, and one more. That is when he went to Charlie Manuel and told him his right side hurt...

To Chooch or Not to Chooch
Ruiz set career-highs in 2012 in eight offensive categories. Did Adderall aid that?
Once the season ends, or perhaps even at the July 31 trade deadline, the Phillies will be forced to deal with harsh realities. Several players who were integral parts of the teams’ run to the 2008 World Series could be on the move. It’s not out of the question to think the 2014 Phillies could...
Chase Utley Scratched, May Have Injured Oblique
Chase Utley, in the midst of putting together his first healthy season since 2009, was pulled from the lineup on Tuesday with discomfort in his right side.
In baseball euphemisms, this usually means an oblique problem and that can translate to a likely trip to the DL for the Philadelphia Phillies‘ second baseman.
Fantasy Play: Utley has been one of the most fragile high-end fantasy...
Pirates Activate Right-Handed Reliever Jose Contreras
The Pittsburgh Pirates have activated right-handed reliever Jose Contreras from the bereavement list Tuesday. To make room for him on the active roster the Pirates have decided to option right-handed reliever Jered Hughes from Triple-A Indianapolis. Hughes will serve as relief depth for the organization and most likely will get another shot at the majors sooner or later in 2013....
Utley Scratched After Pain In Side
Shortly before tonight’s first pitch, the Phillies were dealt another crucial blow when Chase Utley pulled himself from the lineup due to soreness on his right side. He was replaced in the lineup by Freddy Galvis.
Utley began to feel the discomfort during batting practice, and the issue was obviously strong enough to raise concern for the long-time Phillies second baseman, as Utley...

Why The Boston Red Sox should trade for Jonathan Papelbon
Ever since Jonathan Papelbon left the Boston Red Sox and signed with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2012, the Red Sox closer situation has been a revolving door. With the Phillies aging and Papelbon no longer on a winning team, I think it's time for the Red Sox to consider making the trade that brings their all-time saves leader back to Boston. The Red Sox have...
Tyler Cloyd Gets Start, Ryan Howard Returns As Phillies Look To Figure Out Jose Fernandez
The Phillies really, really - for a lack of words - pissed off Cole Hamels last night. After striking out 10 batters and allowing two earned runs to the Marlins through six innings, the Phillies were only able to mount one run - a Domonic Brown home run - to...
Philadelphia Phillies Place Catcher Carlos Ruiz on 15-Day Disabled List
The Philadelphia Phillies have had to place catcher Carlos Ruiz on the 15-day disabled list due to a strained right hamstring.
