After signing right-hander Brad Keller and trading away lefty Matt Strahm, the Phillies seem to have the main members of their bullpen set. Jhoan Duran will return as the closer, Keller and Orion Kerkering will serve as the later-inning righties and José Alvarado and Tanner Banks will be the club’s go-to lefties. Taijuan Walker finished the 2025 season as a reliever, but he’s likely to open the year as a starter with Zack Wheeler potentially getting a late start.
That leaves three other spots in the bullpen to begin 2026.
Of course, there’s still over a month until spring training begins in Clearwater, Fla.
