Phillies 2026 NL Wild Card Series roster

MLB.com • September 29, 2026 • sports

Key Points:

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly announced that Arraez will not play in the NL Wild Card Series against the Braves due to injury, and he has not yet been able to swing a bat since the injury occurred.
Left-hander Tanner Banks made the 26-man roster for the series, while Brooks Raley, who struggled with a 7.94 ERA in 16 appearances, was left off the roster.
Arraez, who had a .278 batting average and .678 OPS since joining the Phillies, had been a key player in the cleanup spot, making his absence a significant loss for the team.
Mattingly noted ongoing health issues affecting the roster and emphasized the versatility of their catchers, particularly Stubbs, who can play multiple positions and serve as a pinch-runner.
