Phillies Add Bat and Bullpen Help at Deadline, Miss on Starter
Philadelphia made multiple moves before the trade deadline but left their rotation unchanged, a notable gap heading into the stretch run.
The Phillies acquired at least one offensive player and multiple relief pitchers before the trade deadline closed. However, the team did not add a starting pitcher despite rotation depth being a potential need. Beat reporter Todd Zolecki also noted that several players will be playing unfamiliar positions starting immediately. The moves suggest Philadelphia is betting on its existing starters while bolstering the back end of games.
