  • Painter, a 22-year-old right-handed pitcher recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2023, missed the previous two seasons but returned this spring with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
  • Eighteen-Year-Old catcher Eduardo Tait is currently playing for Single-A Clearwater, where he holds a.256 batting average, a.328 on-base percentage, and a.449 slugging percentage, contributing 10 homers and driving in 42 runs over the course of 65 games this year.
  • The seven-inning Futures Game, managed by Marquis Grissom for the American League and Chipper Jones for the National League, will showcase 30 of Baseball America's Top 100 prospects and air live on MLB Network.
  • Painter’s roster selection highlights the Phillies’ strong young talent though he will not pitch in the game as part of his ongoing recovery, while Tait aims to use this platform to establish his profile in professional baseball.
