​Rewritten: My Philadelphia Phillies 2026 MLB draft tracker: a live, up-to-the-minute list of every selection that originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The Philadelphia Phillies organization is hosting the 2026 All-Star Game festivities, including the 2026 MLB Draft. On Saturday, July 11, the Phillies will take part in Day 1 of the draft, with Rounds 1 through 4 scheduled before Sunday, and Rounds 5 through 20 set for Day 2. On Day 1, the Phillies hold five selections within the first four rounds. This MLB draft pick tracker will provide live updates on all Phillies selections as they come in. With a depleted farm system, this year’s draft class is particularly important for Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies as they seek to bolster the organization’s depth ahead of a potentially transformative trade deadline.
Pick 36, Pick 64, Pick 100, Pick 128, and Pick 135 are the targets in this draft haul. Given the farm system’s current vulnerabilities, almost every pick represents a potential need, but the club will likely prioritize starting pitching prospects and right-handed bats to address two immediate gaps on the major-league roster. The Phillies could again look to collegiate pitching talent, following a successful track record with Gage Wood; a return to that path would not be surprising.
In other MLB news around the league, Angel’s GM responds firmly to Phillies trade chatter involving Mike Trout, and the Cardinals announce an eight-year, $112.5 million extension for JJ Wetherholt. There’s also buzz about potential trades involving Jung Hoo Lee and Robbie Ray sourced from the Giants, as well as ongoing questions about Shohei Ohtani’s status and why Dodgers star might not pitch tonight or participate in the All-Star Game. Additionally, fans are curious about what the Blue Jays received for Tommy Nance, while the Twins reportedly sent a catcher with a .855 OPS in a trade aimed at improving overall team SEO performance.
