The Philadelphia Phillies released pitcher Colin Peluse and hired him as a pitching coach in their player-development system on August 14, 2026. Peluse spent the 2026 season at Double-A Reading but did not make it to the majors. Rather than pursuing opportunities elsewhere, he will now aid in developing the team's pitchers. This move comes as the Phillies seek to strengthen their farm system after recent trades depleted crucial prospects.
