Cristopher Sánchez

Sánchez was named to the All-Star Game as a replacement for Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale.

Sánchez's new four-year contract, which begins next season and covers his arbitration years, includes two club options for 2029 and 2030.

Good teams find ways to win. Great teams do it with their complementary players. Could Clemens play more in the short term?

Much of the Phillies' fast 30-game start was thanks to a pitching staff that topped the NL in ERA. Here's who is trending up and down.

Sánchez pushed himself this offseason and now has unveiled a new pitch: a cutter. "I worked harder," he said. "More work. Conscious work."

The Phillies, in discussions with player agents and other clubs, have identified pitching depth as their priority, according to sources.

The Phillies have an unusual amount of confidence in Cristopher Sánchez, who is something of a surprise to start Game 4.

The Phillies have spent the past two days crafting a plan and refining their strategy against the Diamondbacks.

"There's a few other guys in baseball, but more than anybody we face, he's the biggest challenge," Kevin Long said of Spencer Strider.

"I think this is like we were last year — a club that is built for a short series," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said.

Can Sánchez, Lorenzen and Kerkering become pitchers the Phillies trust in October?

The Phillies backed into the postseason in 2022. They'd rather forge an easier path this September. Can they hold onto the No. 4 seed?

As the Phillies start to think ahead, they could make a change that addresses a current need and could help later in October.

Since joining the rotation on June 17, Sánchez has a 3.17 ERA and qualifies as one of the Phillies' unsung heroes.

From a no-hitter to so bitter, Sunday's brutal loss capped a bad weekend. It came as the Phillies must decide what to do at the deadline.
