This will be a fascinating deadline for Dave Dombrowski, who has to issue a referendum on this roster's chances for a World Series title.

Midway through a 4-3, 11-inning win over the Chicago Cubs, the Phillies announced they’d raised over $800,000 on ALS Night.

Truth is, the Phillies, despite winning, need to be better. They may have won the National League pennant in 2022, reached the NL Championship Series in 2023 and won their first East Division title since 2011 last year. But none of that will happen again if improvements don’t occur.

Painter has a 5.19 ERA, 29 strikeouts, and 11 walks in 26 innings with Lehigh Valley. He has allowed five homers in six starts.
