Phillies Eye Yankees Relievers to Strengthen Bullpen

The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly planning to keep closer Ryan Helsley, making him unavailable for trade to the Phillies, who are seeking a high-leverage reliever. Helsley had a standout season with a 2.04 ERA and 49 saves. Meanwhile, the Phillies have shown interest in former Yankees relievers Clay Holmes and Tommy Kahnle. Additionally, the Phillies have engaged in trade talks involving Alec Bohm, with the Mariners and White Sox expressing interest, but no deals are imminent due to high asking prices.

St. Louis Cardinals lose closer Ryan Helsley to injury.

The St. Louis Cardinals have placed closer Ryan Helsley on the 15-day injured list and recalled Jake Woodford to offer depth in the bullpen. Helsley's placement on the IL is retroactive to Saturday. In recent weeks, the right-hander has seen his role shift some from the late-inning answer out of the bullpen for the brawny part of the opponent's order. Woodford opened the year in the Cardinals' starting rotation, and he spent each of the past few seasons bouncing between Class AAA and the majors as a spot starter, long reliever, or, in a few cases, a late-game option as a chase reliever.
