Stingy in win Eflin (1-1) earned the win and struck out three in six innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk in a 10-3 victory Tuesday over Colorado.
Impact Eflin was dominant, retiring 12 of the first 13 batters he faced and scattering only a single and a walk through the first five innings. The lone run came on a two-out solo home run by Charlie Blackmon in the sixth. It was the longest outing and most pitches (91) for the righty in his four starts. He has compiled some strong numbers to start the season with a 3.20 ERA and just four walks in 19.2 innings.

No-decision in Colorado Eflin allowed four runs on nine hits and zero walks over 5.2 innings during Wednesday's 9-6 win against the Rockies. He had five strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
Impact Eflin was in trouble early Wednesday, as Colorado scored a pair of runs on three hits during the opening frame. The Rockies added two more runs in the fifth to take a 4-3 lead, but the Phillies rallied to tie it 4-4 in the sixth to take the right-hander off the hook for the loss. Eflin has yet to allow a homer this season but has given up eight earned runs over 13.2 innings across his three starts. He lines up for a remain with Colorado at home early next week.

Stumbles against Marlins Eflin (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Phillies fell 7-1 to the Marlins, coughing up four runs on six hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out four.
Impact Miami struck for a pair of runs in each of the first two innings, and while Eflin righted the ship after that, he still got the hook after 81 pitches (49 strikes). The right-hander hasn't lasted five innings in either of his first two starts this season, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB through eight innings, and he'll be a risky option in his next scheduled outing Wednesday, on the road at Coors Field against the Rockies.

Fires four scoreless innings Eflin allowed two hits and two walks across four shutout innings in Sunday's loss to Oakland. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Eflin loaded the bases in the third inning but managed to escape unscathed, thanks in part to a double play that he initiated. The 28-year-old righty carried over the momentum from his strong spring performance during which he punched out 11 batters and registered a 0.96 ERA through 9.1 innings. He's currently lined up to take the mound in Miami next week.

Makes first start of spring Eflin recorded six outs on 24 pitches during Saturday's start against Detroit.
Impact Eflin was making his first start of the spring after returning from patellar tendon surgery in September. The right-hander lasted two innings, throwing 24 pitches and successfully fielded his position on his surgically repaired knee. Eflin will likely make two more starts before facing Oakland at home April 10.

Returning to mound Saturday Eflin (knee) is starting Saturday's Grapefruit League contest against the Tigers.
Impact This outing will mark Eflin's spring debut, his first outing since undergoing surgery on his knee in early September. It's unclear how deep into the game he will pitch, though he threw a couple simulated innings March 15. Assuming he suffers no setbacks, Eflin could ready to start the season in the rotation.

Impact When he underwent surgery in early September to address patellar tendon damage to his right knee, Eflin was given a loose 6-to-8-month recovery timeline. Given where he currently stands in his recovery in the early stages of spring training, Eflin appears on pace to return at the short end of that timeline, which would be a major boon for the Phillies with the availability of ace Zack Wheeler (shoulder) for Opening Day uncertain due to his slow buildup during the offseason. Before picking up the knee injury in September, Eflin submitted a 4.17 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 99 over 105.2 innings.

Impact Eflin underwent surgery to repair the patellar tendon in his right knee in early September, and his rehab appears to have gone well during the offseason. The procedure carried an initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 months, and Opening Day would fall toward the end of that original timetable. The right-hander's availability for the start of the campaign should receive more clarity as he continues to ramp things up at spring training, but at this point it doesn't appear he'll miss much time, if any.
