Did Ya Know 🧐 :
Rincon Rakes - Phillies No. 5 prospect Bryan Rincon continued his breakout 2026 season with four hits on Thursday night and his 19th home run of the season on Friday. Rincon also added three doubles. His four hits matched a season and career-high four the third time, as he also clubbed four hits on May 1 at Hartford and July 1 vs New Hampshire. Rincon’s three doubles marked a new career high for him and it was the fourth multi-double game in his career. Rincon now has 23 doubles this season, along with 45 extra-base hits, all of which are career highs. He played in his 100th game last night, the first time in his career doing that. - Jake Starr - Reading Director of PR/Media Relations, Client Fulfillment & Broadcaster

Dominican Summer League - Padres Gold 9 (2-1) Phillies 3 (2-1)
Dominican Republic - Playoff Game Three - Padres Complex
The Padres Gold team advances to the DSL playoff semi-finals, the Phillies season is over. It was a great season for the Phillies squad. The change in signing philosophy and going to one DSL team rather than two worked very well for the organization. Quite a few of this year’s DSL players seemed destined for stateside action next year.
Just a clarification - yesterday the Astros Orange team defeated the Padres Gold and if they had played and won against the Angels three teams in the pool would have been 2-1 however the first tie-breaker was best regular season record therefore the Astros Orange/Angels game was cancelled as the Astros Orange squad finished the regular season lower than the Padres Gold. It set up today’s Phillies/Padres Gold game where the winner earned advancement into the semi-finals.
The Padres Gold team won the 2025 DSL championship.
