Sunday’s Phillies game goes streaming-only on the Roku Channel as Aaron Nola returns from injury, with a 11:35 a.m. start that ties Citizens Bank Park’s earliest. MLB’s Roku Leadoff package continues through 2026, a contrast to higher ESPN rates and a signal that streaming leverage is changing how fans watch early-week action. Nola faces Nationals lefty Mitchell Parker in a quiet but meaningful test, with out-of-town fans still able to watch via MLB.tv blackout-free.

Nick Castellanos remains in the lineup despite a hitting dip, while Zack Wheeler’s status looms in the background as Philadelphia weighs its rotation and bullpen moves. A storyline thread: Jhoan Duran being labeled the new closer in commentary about the team’s relief backbone. The Apple TV+ Friday game against Atlanta remains on the calendar, underscoring a summer of streaming-heavy MLB access for Philadelphia faithful.
