Jimmy Rollins is in camp this week as a guest instructor. He is always insightful, so it was fun to hear his thoughts on the 2025 Phillies’ chances on winning a World Series, Trea Turner hitting leadoff and Rollins’ own Hall of Fame chances. www.mlb.com/news/phillie...

Maybe Kyle Schwarber plays a little first base this season, getting Bryce Harper off his feet if he needs it. Maybe it keeps the big bats in the lineup and everybody a little fresher. That’s the idea anyway. www.mlb.com/news/kyle-sc...

Max Kepler tweaked his swing since he signed with the Phillies, who are counting on him to be their everyday left fielder. He liked the early results today in Lakeland. “I think, with more repetition, the ball will get bigger.” www.mlb.com/news/max-kep...

Weston Wilson has a moderate oblique strain. He will miss six weeks, taking him out of the running for a bench job. Buddy Kennedy’s odds improve. Hits right-handed. Could see time in OF this spring.
