The 2025 MLB playoffs are here, with Wild Card matchups already underway on Tuesday. The Philadelphia Phillies, however, have this week off after earning a first-round bye as one of the top two teams in the National League.
As they wait for their NLDS opponent, there has been much speculation about the 26-man roster they'll submit ahead of Saturday's Game 1 at Citizens Bank Park. On Tuesday, the Phillies cleared up one mystery regarding their bench for the NLDS.
Well, kind of. They didn't exactly tell us who would be included as extras for their first series of the postseason.
