Per @JeffPassan at ESPN, the best fit for the Phillies at the trade deadline would be none other than star left-hander Tarik Skubal. Taylor Ward would be another option as a right-handed outfielder.

Good enough for me.
Aidan Miller will have surgery Friday to treat discogenic pain and facet inflammation in the lumbar spine, according to the #Phillies. He will rest for one week, then return to his rehab with the goal to return to game activity in 6-8 weeks.
We have designated 1B/OF Nick Castellanos for assignment and selected the contract of INF/OF Samad Taylor from Triple-A El Paso. Taylor will wear No. 0.
One of the most impressive things about Brandon Marsh during his time with the Phillies has been the genuine joy he takes in his teammates doing well, even when it comes at the expense of his playing time.
Take a moment to consider what we're watching.
