Steve Potter has the scoop on the Phils' contingent to the Arizona Fall League:

Players heading to Arizona include:

• SS Aidan Miller
• OF Dante Nori
• IF Carson DeMartini
• RHP Eiberson Castellano
• RHP Jack Dallas
• RHP Daniel Harper
• RHP Tommy McCollum
• RHP Jayden Estanista

I believe that's Castellano (but no "s")

I believe that's Castellano (but no "s")

Yep. Fixed it.

RHP Eiberson Castellano

PItching is slim pickin's this year.
And DeMartini has been a disappointment after a hot start in Reading.

At least Nori and Miller bear watching.

Phillies again controlling much of the Adelaide club in Australia.

NPG and Lachlan Wells have re-signed. Rixon Wingrove moving on.

Arizona Fall League starts Monday (though the Phillies prospects don't have a game until Tuesday). Unsurprisingly Aiden Miller is our top prospect. Should be a good test for him.

And Jaydenn Estanista is the under the radar prospect.

Phillies Arizona team plays tonight. Mexican and Dominican leagues start next week.

I did not see any Phillies minor leaguers mentioned, but the Mexican Pacific League has a team in Tucson this year. Guessing the imports will be mostly from teams that train in Arizona already.

Nori 1-2 last night. Noticed Caba leading off going 2-3 for the other team. One roster change. It looks like they replaced Miller with Rincon on the roster.

Edit - Looks like DeMartini out also. Matt with a quick update:
