Phillies Gearing Up for Bullpen Arms Race with Rival Mets at MLB Trade Deadline. This is still a team that has high expectations about what they can accomplish this yea

The Philadelphia Phillies were linked to New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, allowing Bryce Harper to move back to the outfield.

Phillies 1B Bryce Harper, who was not playing Friday due to wrist inflammation, is now on the 10-day injured list.

Former Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman returned to Philadelphia Friday night as a Toronto Blue Jay, the team that drafted him with the ninth overall pick in the 2014 draft.

With nine losses in their past 10 games and franchise slugger Harper tossed on the injured list with a recurring wrist injury, the free-falling Phillies have dropped three spots in USA TODAY Sports' power rankings.
