NEW YORK — It’s Enyel De Los Santos’ turn to make a first impression.
The Phillies are expected to call up De Los Santos from triple-A Lehigh Valley for a spot start against the New York Mets on Tuesday night at Citi Field, manager Gabe Kapler confirmed Monday. The 22-year-old righthander will be the third Phillies pitcher to make his major-league debut this season, joining relievers Seranthony Dominguez and Austin Davis.
De Los Santos is needed because righthander Vince Velasquez (bruised right forearm) isn’t eligible to be reinstated from the 10-day disabled list until Wednesday.
