Phillies Sign Tommy Pham To Minor League Deal
Pham arrives with a .137 xwOBA across 9 games with NYM, offering depth for a Phillies team on a 7-3 L10 stretch. The July 25 opt-out gives Philadelphia flexibility without roster commitment.

Expect an entertaining matchup that tilts toward Philadelphia. Grayson Rodríguez projects to open for Baltimore, but his fastball-reliant approach has run hot-and-cold this spring and the top of the Phillies’ order—Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber—matches up well with velocity. Ranger Suárez should get the ball for Philadelphia; his heavy sinker figures to generate ground-balls against a righty-leaning Orioles lineup.
Early on, Harper pounces on a first-inning mistake to plate a run, and the Phillies add a two-spot in the fourth when Realmuto yanks a hanging changeup into the left-field corner. Baltimore answers in the third with a Gunnar Henderson triple, and a two-run surge in the fifth—keyed by Adley Rutschman’s opposite-field double—briefly knots the game.
The bullpens decide it. Philadelphia’s back-end trio (Alvarado, Kerkering, Kimbrel) has been sharper than Baltimore’s unsettled middle relief, which has been stretched after consecutive short starts. A sixth-inning sacrifice fly from Bohm and a two-run eighth-inning blast by Schwarber off a tiring right-hander give the Phillies breathing room. Baltimore scratches across a seventh-inning run thanks to Cedric Mullins’ speed, but Suárez’s efficiency keeps the game from unraveling.
Overall, Philadelphia’s deeper lineup and steadier late-inning options carry the day, extending their strong early-season form while Baltimore’s run prevention woes remain the story.

Philadelphia Phillies — News
Phillies accomplish MLB first with Bryce Harper; Red Sox beat Yankees at Fenway
PHI improved to 45-36 (7-3 L10) with the win while BOS snapped a rough home stretch (13-25) against NYY, who lead AL East at 48-32. Harper's on-base production (0.408 OBP) continues anchoring a lineup that has outscored opponents by 4 runs this season.
Junior Caminero hits three home runs in Rays blowout
Caminero showcased elite power with 19 HR on the season and a 0.366 xwOBA, extending a stretch that positions Tampa Bay (45-33) as a deadline seller or contender depending on rotation health.
Cubs extend winning streak to four games; Mets extend losing streak to six
CHC improved to 44-37 (7-3 L10) while NYM dropped to 34-47 (2-8 L10) with a -47 run differential—the rotation anchored by Peralta's 4.53 ERA and Peterson's 6.09 ERA (now in Chicago) cannot stop the bleeding.
MLB Trade Deadline Preview Series Launches
Yankees (48-32, +110 run differential) lead AL East while Phillies (45-36) and Rays (45-33) sit second and third—early positioning for teams evaluating deadline needs. Phillies rotation anchor Sánchez leads majors with 2.13 ERA and 9-3 record through 17 starts.
Baltimore Orioles — News
Orioles GM Elias Addresses Deadline Plans With Team at 39-45
Baltimore sits 3 games back in a depleted AL wild card race (10 of 15 AL clubs have losing records), but their -24 run differential and 16-25 road record expose depth issues Elias must solve at the deadline. Bassitt (5.27 ERA, 1.63 WHIP) and Rogers (4.99 ERA) are anchoring a rotation that ranks outside the top 10 in ERA; meaningful additions are required.
Orioles Claim Yosver Zulueta Off Waivers
Zulueta has no 2026 pitching record available, making this a depth move for a rotation struggling with inconsistency—Bradish (3.64 ERA) is Baltimore's only healthy starter with an xwOBA under .32 among the current five.
Orioles Activate Rutschman, Beavers; Designate Huff
Rutschman (.254 AVG, .354 xwOBA, 8 HR in 54 G) returns as Baltimore's primary catcher after concussion, replacing Huff who posted a .151 xwOBA in 9 games. Beavers (.308 xwOBA, 33 G) also back from IL but remains a net-negative hitter (.243 AVG) for a 39-45 team sitting 4th in AL East.
Orioles Claim Dom Keegan, Designate Kyle Nicolas, Reinstate Cade Povich
Povich returns from IL with a 5.12 ERA and 5.59 K/9 across limited work, while Nicolas departs with an 8.59 ERA and unsustainable 15.95 BB/9 across 7.1 innings—a routine depth shuffle for Baltimore's struggling rotation (39-44, -23 run differential).
Orioles Outright Michael Siani to Triple-A
Siani clears waivers with a .292 xwOBA across limited MLB action, a routine depth move for Baltimore (38-44, -25 run differential) that carries minimal roster impact.
