News summary

The Philadelphia Phillies are addressing multiple roster challenges during the 2025 MLB season, including placing ace Aaron Nola on the injured list due to an ankle injury. In response, prospect Mick Abel has debuted in Nola's absence, and the Phillies are reportedly considering a trade for Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt to strengthen their rotation. The team is also exploring upgrades at third base, with Alec Bohm's struggles fueling trade rumors involving stars like Nolan Arenado and Rafael Devers. Newly acquired pitcher Jesus Luzardo has started the season strongly, drawing comparisons to Hall of Famer Steve Carlton. Despite Bryce Harper's slump, he remains a key concern for opposing pitchers, facing a high rate of breaking balls and pitches out of the strike zone. The Phillies also bolstered their pitching depth by signing left-hander Cristhian Tortosa to a minor league deal.
