Interim Phillies manager Don Mattingly has been asked to serve on the National League coaching staff for the 2026 All-Star Game. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who will lead the NL, extended the invitation ahead of the July 14 event at Citizens Bank Park. Cardinals manager Oli Marmol received a similar request from Roberts.
Mattingly confirmed the news before Sunday's game against the White Sox. He previously served on the NL staff in 2015 and was a six-time All-Star as a player. Marmol described the invitation as his first All-Star experience. He highlighted the chance to see top players together and represent his team and family. The Phillies are hosting the Midsummer Classic for the first time since 1996. Potential All-Star candidates from the club include Kyle Schwarber, Cristopher Sánchez and Bryce Harper. All-Star voting is now open to fans. The game will be televised on FOX.
