Yesterday, the Phillies had to park Ranger Suarez on the bench for a while thanks to back spasms, meaning two-fifths of their starting rotation are out of commission for a while. While they’ve skirted the baseball gods with how many times the original five have made starts this year, they’re now starting to get bitten a bit by the injury bug. They’ve already had to bring up Bailey Falter to substitute for Zach Eflin, now it looks like either Cristopher Sanchez or Kent Emanuel are going to get some run.
Sounds great, huh?
That means that it’s probably time for the team to start (if they haven’t already) scouring the outside teams for help in the rotation.
