Bryce Harper was one of five Phillies to make the 2026 National League All-Star team.

He will join Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Cristopher Sánchez and Jhoan Duran. Does this make Harper elite again? Was there any doubt he wasn’t? We share our thoughts on each of the five Phillies All-Stars.

We also discuss Aaron Nola’s start on Sunday, Andrew Painter’s Triple-A start on Saturday and more.

It was 105 degrees at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday afternoon.

It’s been hot at the Bank all week. The Phillies’ offense scored 25 games in the first three games of a four-game split against the Pirates, including an eight spot on Paul Skenes. But Zack Wheeler was hot on Wednesday night when Don Mattingly pulled him from the game with two outs in the fifth inning. Wheeler talked about it on Wednesday night. Mattingly addressed it on Thursday.

Plus, an update on Jim’s tomatoes, while NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Rob Kuestner tells us some cool All-Star programming coming up next week!

The Phillies have two of the best pitchers in baseball in Cristopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler. Jesus Luzardo has All-Star potential too. But the Phillies have growing concerns with Aaron Nola and their No. 5 starter. Should the Phillies prioritize a starting pitcher over a right-handed bat or late-inning reliever before the Aug. 3 trade deadline?

Ruben mentions an outside-the-box trade candidate for the Phillies: old friend Ranger Suarez!

Trea Turner and Justin Crawford are swinging the bat better. We discuss their progress. Jim also discusses an interesting story he wrote on Wheeler, who is keeping the door open for pitching beyond his contract in 2027.
