Philadelphia Phillies president Dave Dombrowski suggested that Double-A pitching prospect Alex McFarlane might soon be promoted after a standout month. McFarlane, who turned 25 this week, did not allow an earned run in 10.1 innings during May and recorded three saves. His performance has garnered attention as the Phillies aim for a playoff push with a strong record under interim manager Don Mattingly. The next step for McFarlane likely involves proving himself in Triple-A before a potential big-league opportunity.

- •He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023 and missed the entire 2024 season.
