The Philadelphia Phillies are actively seeking to acquire an outfielder following Adolis Garcia's two-month injury absence due to a torn right lat. Sources report that the Phillies front office is exploring options, including Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu of the Boston Red Sox. Abreu, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, has a.770 OPS and is under contract until 2030. His ability to fill the right field position could provide a solid long-term solution for the team as they aim to maintain contention in the National League.

- •They are targeting Jarren Duran or Wilyer Abreu from the Red Sox.
- •Abreu has an 117 OPS+ and eight homers so far this season.
