Overview
- The Phillies placed outfielder Adolis García on the 60-day injured list after he left a game on June 10 with a torn right lat, a move that likely removes him from consideration through the trade deadline.
- President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski made an immediate, low-cost roster move by acquiring Derek Hill and recalling an outfielder from Triple-A to fill García’s active roster spot.
- Reports identify Jo Adell of the Angels and Seiya Suzuki of the Cubs as Philadelphia’s primary trade targets, both right-handed hitters who would address the team’s middle-of-order power need.
- Suzuki’s value is complicated by a recent knee discomfort episode and the fact he is in the final year of an $85 million contract, making him more likely to be a short-term rental than a long-term solution.
- Any deal will hinge on seller priorities — the Angels are expected to seek prospects while the Cubs could demand MLB-level pitching — and the Phillies must decide between renting a bat for 2026 or trading for a longer-term fit.
