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

9/10/25 : Phillies Arizona Fall League Contingent

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:

More updates. Felix Reyes looks like he is playing regularly in the Dominican which should be a good test. Erubiel Armenta active in Mexico too among players still considered prospects.

Rojas debuts in the Dominican. Sanchez has graduated to ceremonial first pitch status. Dylan Campbell playing pretty well in Arizona and has played 6 positions so far (1B, 2B, 3B, LF, CF, RF).
