Notes on Phillies and former Phillies participating in fall/winter leagues from games played on 12/5 (12/6 - Australia). Current Phillies bolded and underlined.
Dominican Winter League :
Bryan De La Cruz (RF) went 2 for 4 (single & grand slam HR) with a walk, four RBIs and three runs scored for the Toros del Este in a 7-0 victory against the Estrellas Orientales. De La Cruz now has 6 home runs and 32 RBIs in 30 games (133 plate appearances) and leads the league in home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage (.530) and OPS (.913) amongst qualified hitters. He has played winter ball for the Toros since 2019 and this season is by far his most successful - perhaps a right handed outfield bat the Phillies seek has already been found in the under the radar 11/6/25 signing of the 28 year old. Cal Stevenson (CF) was 2 for 3 (single & double) with a walk and RBI for the Tigres del Licey in a 5-3 win over the Leones del Escogido. RHP Jimmy Cordero pitched a perfect inning (1 K) for the Leones.
Mexican Winter League :
RHP Victor Vargas pitched 4.2 innings (3 unearned runs, 1 H, 2 BB, 7 K’s) for the Algodoneros de Guasave in a 4-0 loss to the Venados de Mazatlán. Nick Williams (RF) went 2 for 5 (single & HR) with an RBI and two runs scored for the Cañeros de Los Mochis in a 7-2 win over the Tucson Baseball Team.
Venezuela Winter League :
Aldrem Corredor (DH) went 2 for 3 (single & double) with three RBIs for the Leones del Caracas in a 9-7 win over the Navegantes del Magallanes.
Puerto Rico Winter League :
Jan Hernandez (CF) was 1 for 4 (double) with an RBI for the Gigantes de Carolina in a 2-0 win against the Cangrejeros de Santurce.
