Traded to Philadelphia The Phillies acquired Lorenzen from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for Hao-Yu Lee, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Shortly after Justin Verlander's move back to Houston, another domino fell with Lorenzen being shipped to Philadelphia. A surprise All-Star this year, Lorenzen pitched to a 3.58 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 105.2 innings with the Tigers (already his second-most innings in a major-league season). He will presumably step into the rotation for the Phillies, pushing Ranger Suarez or Cristopher Sanchez to the bullpen unless the team decides to move to a six-man rotation.

Impact Lorenzen has thrived since departing the Angels to join Detroit in the offseason, earning his first career All-Star selection and coming into Thursday having tossed three straight scoreless outings. However, he was no match for Shohei Ohtani in the matinee of the twin bill, as the two-way star tossed a complete-game shutout to hand Lorenzen the loss. Despite the defeat, Lorenzen pitched fairly well, compiling 16 swinging strikes and tying a season high with seven punchouts. The right-hander's next start is tentatively scheduled to be a road matchup against the Pirates next week.
