Overview
- Major League Baseball announced Wednesday that Shane Victorino will manage the National League squad and Larry Bowa will manage the American League team for the Futures Game.
- The Futures Game is set for July 12 at Citizens Bank Park with a noon ET start and final coaching staffs and 25-player rosters to be announced later.
- Phillies prospects likely to appear include right-hander Gage Wood, infielder Aroon Escobar, and outfielder Dante Nori, while top prospect Aidan Miller remains sidelined after a radiofrequency ablation and is unlikely to play.
- Wood was promoted to Double-A Reading this season and has a 3.35 ERA with 59 strikeouts and 15 walks in 40.1 innings in 2026 while sitting 94-98 mph on his fastball.
- The seven-inning, National League vs. American League exhibition is a high-profile prospect showcase that has sent several 2025 Futures Game players to the majors and will draw local interest as roster and rehab news develop.
