The Phillies are seeking starting pitching depth due to Zack Wheeler’s injury, but President Dave Dombrowski noted they were not pursuing Max Scherzer, Lucas Giolito, or Zack Littell, as they don’t fit the team’s needs. With Andrew Painter expected to compete for a rotation spot, the team is looking for optionable starters who can be sent to the minors. Potential trade targets include Javier Assad, Landon Knack, Keider Montero, and Hayden Birdsong, while non-roster invitees like Bryse Wilson and Tucker Davidson may also be considered. The club’s focus is on adding depth without disrupting their rotation plans.
