The Phillies have appointed Don Mattingly as interim manager for the remainder of the 2026 season following Rob Thomson’s dismissal. After reports surfaced that the Phillies offered the managerial position to recently fired Red Sox manager Alex Cora, he declined to take the role, opting to spend time with his family. Mattingly, who last managed in 2022, may not return beyond this season, while Cora could emerge as a leading candidate for the 2027 managerial position. The future of the Phillies’ management remains uncertain as they evaluate their options.
