Max Kepler #17 of the Philadelphia Phillies steals second base against Trevor Story #10 of the Boston Red Sox in the sixth inning during a game at Citizens Bank Park on July 22, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MoreHow to Watch Red Sox vs Phillies Date: Wednesday, July 23, 2025 Time: 7:00 PM ET Channel: ESPN, ESPN Deportes Stream: Fubo (WATCH NOW) The Phillies are trying to keep pace with the Mets, who are currently tied for the lead in the NL East. Their 58-43 record is ten games ahead of the next closest team in the division, but it will likely be a battle with New York till the very end, making every game crucial for Philadelphia. Boston sends Lucas Giolito to the mound to snap their two-game losing streak, and despite moving on from Rafael Devers, they are still right in the middle of a tight AL East race. They have to start gaining some ground on both Toronto and New York to claim the division crown, but they are very much in postseason contention. Keep an eye on Kyle Schwarber, who, after his 3-3 home run performance to seal the All-Star Game victory, has hit three homers since the break, including one yesterday. This is a great MLB matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action. Live stream Red Sox vs Phillies on ESPN with Fubo: Start your subscription now!

Does Breakout Phillies Pitcher Have 'Centerpiece' Value Ahead of Trade Deadline?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the best teams in baseball, but they still have quite a few holes to fill on their roster. The team needs to add a closer and an outfielder. Beyond that, depth additions would work, but it's hard to imagine the Phillies leaving the deadline without adding at least one star. But to do that, the team will need to trade some talented prospects. FanSided's Eric Cole recently revealed that he expects the Phillies to cut ties with talented pitching prospect Mick Abel in the coming days. Abel has made six starts this year and holds a 5.04 ERA in 25 innings. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 21: Mick Abel #40 of the Philadelphia Phillies looks on against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park on June 21, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Mets defeated the Phillies... PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 21: Mick Abel #40 of the Philadelphia Phillies looks on against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park on June 21, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Mets defeated the Phillies 11-4. More"The Phillies are one again in the middle of the World Series discussion and with Dave Dombrowski at the helm, you can bet they are going to be aggressive," Cole wrote. "It would be extremely odd for Philly to spend all of this time getting Andrew Painter healthy again only to trade him, so Abel may be the odd man out from the pitching-rich Phillies if they make a big move. "They did make a real move to address their bullpen already after signing David Robertson, but Abel could be the centerpiece of a deal for a big-time bullpen arm with some team control or an impact bat." It's hard to imagine there's no future in Philadelphia for a talented pitcher like Abel, but the Phillies seemingly have six pitchers ahead of him. When Aaron Nola finally drops off, top prospect Andrew Painter is expected to take his place. That would leave Abel as a fringe roster player unless there are injuries. Of course, having pitching depth is important, but Abel would be much more valuable if used in a trade. He could be the centerpiece of a deal that lands a star closer for the Phillies.

MLB Insider Lists Braves Slugger As Best Designated Hitter On Market
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Atlanta Braves have not had the season that they hoped for, and Insider Mark Feinsand has their designated hitter, Marcell Ozuna, as the best available at the trade deadline. Ozuna was once perceived to be an MVP-type candidate type of player. Those days have since passed him by, and he is now 34 years old and headed for free agency in the winter is now on the trade block. ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 27: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves hits a single during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park on June 27, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. ATLANTA, GA - JUNE 27: Marcell Ozuna #20 of the Atlanta Braves hits a single during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park on June 27, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia. Photo by Matthew Grimes Jr./Ozuna still possesses the power to change the momentum of a game at any moment, and with a market low on power hitters, the Braves could trade his services for a premium. Ozuna has hit 13 home runs this season, which is significantly down from his 39 last season and 40 in 2023. While Feinsand labels his buzz as medium, there are a lot of positives to the Braves moving on from the slugger. They would open the door for Drake Baldwin to garner more playing time as the designated hitter when he isn't catching, ditto for Sean Murphy. Along with allowing their catching duo to stay in the lineup, the Braves would be able to gain a couple of prospects that could help replenish their farm system. With the Braves unlikely to bring the slugger back into the fold next season, trading him might be their best option. If they are truly setting their eyes on next season and calling this one a lost cause, then there is no harm in sending Ozuna off to compete as the team prepares for a rebound next year.
