TYLER PHILLIPS NEWS

Demoted after disastrous start The Phillies optioned Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Impact Phillips' return to the Phillies' rotation will come to an end after just one start, with the right-hander heading back to the minors after he recorded just two outs while allowing six earned runs on eight hits in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays. The Phillies called up right-hander Nick Nelson from Triple-A to replace Phillips on the active roster and provide the bullpen with a fresh arm in the short term, but Philadelphia could bring Kolby Allard back from Lehigh Valley to fill the opening in the rotation the next time a fifth starter is needed Sunday in Miami.

Impact The right-hander got chased from the game after 36 pitches (28 strikes) and homers by Daulton Varsho and Addison Barger, but the Phillies were able to claw their way back and won it in the ninth on Kyle Schwarber's third long ball of the night. Since a four-hit shutout over the Guardians on July 27, Phillips has been in a tailspin, posting a 17.74 ERA over his last four big-league outings while serving up six home runs in only 11.2 innings. If he gets another start, Phillips lines up to face the Marlins on the road this weekend.

Called up, will start Tuesday The Phillies recalled Phillips from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. He's scheduled to start Tuesday versus the Blue Jays in Toronto, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.

Impact As expected, Phillips will be taking over as the Phillies' new No. 5 starter after the struggling Taijuan Walker was moved to the bullpen last week. After getting his first big-league call-up in July, Phillips enjoyed a strong run through his first four outings with a 1.80 ERA and 0.76 WHIP in 25 innings, including a complete-game shutout of the Guardians on July 27. However, Phillips struggled badly thereafter to earn a demotion to Triple-A, giving up 17 earned runs over his final three starts. He failed to deliver a quality start in either of his two outings with Lehigh Valley following his demotion, so he'll be difficult to use with much confidence in fantasy leagues, even though he'll tentatively line up for a two-start week in his return to the majors. After the Toronto outing, Phillips could pick up another start next Sunday in Miami.

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.

Optioned by Philadelphia The Phillies optioned Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact After starting his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA and 19:2 K:BB over four outings, Phillips has a 13.91 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across just 11 innings of work in his last three starts. He'll go back down to Triple-A to regain his form, with the Phillies calling up Tyler Gilbert from Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Continues to struggle Wednesday Phillips allowed five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.

Impact Phillips fell behind 3-0 in the first inning and gave up two more runs in the fourth. The right-handed rookie avoided a loss thanks to a productive Phillies offense, but he continued his string of recent struggles. After turning heads to begin his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA, three wins and a 19:2 K:BB over his first four outings, Phillips has since given up 17 runs with an 8:5 K:BB across 11 innings over his subsequent three starts. His time in the Phillies rotation could be nearing an end, as Ranger Suarez (back) is expected to return during the team's Aug. 23-25 series in Kansas City.

Allows four runs in win Phillips (4-1) picked up the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk over five innings while striking out three.

Impact Phillips had a difficult time getting through the Dodgers' lineup from the jump, surrendering two runs in the opening frame after allowing four of the first six batters to reach. The right-hander would then allow the first two men to reach in the second as well, leading to another two runs coming across for Los Angeles, though he closed out his time on the mound by hurling three consecutive scoreless innings. Phillips has now won four of his last five starts, though he's also allowed at least four runs in each of his last two outings while posting a 4:4 K:BB.

Struggles mightily in Seattle Phillips (3-1) allowed eight runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 1.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Mariners.

Impact Phillips had pitched 15 consecutive scoreless innings over his last two starts, but Victor Robles ended that streak with a solo home run in the first inning. Luke Raley added a three-run home run and Justin Turner hit a grand slam in the second, which was enough to end Phillips' outing early. He's now at a 4.39 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB through 26.2 innings over five appearances (four starts). The rookie right-hander will have a tough test when looking for a bounce-back effort next week on the road versus the Dodgers.

Fires shutout Saturday Phillips (3-0) picked up the win Saturday in an 8-0 victory over the Guardians, allowing only four hits and a walk over nine shutout innings. He struck out four.

Impact Making just his third career big-league start, the right-hander produced the first shutout by a Phillies rookie since Zach Eflin in 2016. Phillips tossed 105 pitches (71 strikes) in the impressive performance, and his scoreless streak stands at 15 innings after he blanked the Bucs in his previous outing. The Phillies could be looking for rotation help at the trade deadline with Ranger Suarez (back) joining Taijuan Walker (finger) on the IL, but Phillips is proving he can fill one of those spots quite capably. The 26-year-old will take a 1.80 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 25 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.
