Phillies demote struggling right-hander Walker to bullpen for stretch run
The Philadelphia Phillies moved Taijuan Walker to the bullpen, turning the 33-year-old right-hander into a long reliever for the stretch runAUGUST 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tyler Phillips - Good bet to start Tuesday Phillips is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Tuesday in Toronto, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact He'll be taking the rotation spot vacated by Taijuan Walker, who has been demoted to the Phillies' bullpen. Phillips has offered a mixed bag during his 36 major-league innings, throwing a shutout and adding one other scoreless start but getting demoted after allowing 17 runs in 11 frames in August. He could earn additional starts after Tuesday, but Kolby Allard will also become an option once he's eligible to be recalled on Sept. 10.

Taijuan Walker - Relegated to bullpen Manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that Walker will work out of the bullpen going forward, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact After surrendering six earned runs on 13 hits and a walk without recording a strikeout in six innings against the Astros on Wednesday, Walker has now officially lost his place in the Phillies' rotation. He'll serve as a long reliever as he joins Philly's bullpen, and the team will need to recall someone -- likely Tyler Phillips -- from Triple-A to fill the open rotation spot, which is due to pitch in Toronto on Tuesday.

Phillies bring back RHP Yunior Marte to bullpen The Philadelphia Phillies recalled right-hander Yunior Marte from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and optioned right-hander Michael Mercado to the sa...
AUGUST 29 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Yunior Marte - Summoned from minors The Phillies recalled Marte from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marte will provide the Phillies with a fresh relief arm. The right-hander holds a 7.13 ERA and 23:14 K:BB over 24 innings this season, although the bloated ERA is mostly the result of one poor outing when he allowed seven runs and recorded just two outs.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Mercado - Back in minors The Phillies optioned Mercado to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
Impact Mercado was brought up from the minors on Monday, and he'll now head back to Triple-A after giving up four earned runs in only 1.1 innings during his outing against the Astros on Wednesday. Yunior Marte was recalled from Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Andrew Painter - Throwing off mound Painter (elbow) progressed to throwing off a mound in Clearwater in July but will not return to game action until the 2025 season, MLB.com reports.
Impact Given that Painter had Tommy John surgery in late-July 2023, it was always unlikely we'd see back in game action until 2025. He should have time to be fully recovered and a full-go for spring training. Painter threw 103.2 innings in 2022 and it's tough to predict how many innings he'll throw next season after not pitching at all for two years. However, if he makes a full recovery, he won't need much more developmental time in the minors.

Taijuan Walker - Rotation spot in jeopardy Phillies manager Rob Thomson was noncommittal about Walker's spot in the rotation following the right-hander's loss to the Astros on Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Walker surrendered six runs on 13 hits and one walk while failing to record a strikeout against Houston. The Phillies are winless over his last nine starts and Walker holds a 7.36 ERA over that span. His next turn comes up Tuesday in Toronto, but it seems likely the Phillies will go with someone else in that spot. Tyler Phillips looks like the leading candidate, with Kolby Allard also an option once he's eligible to be recalled on Sept. 10. Walker is in the second year of a four-year, $72 million contract.
