Before we’re even done with Atlanta, the team is already putting a plan in place for what they look to do on the mound against the Royals this weekend.
Phillies have Walker and Suárez starting first two games this weekend in Kansas City, and it’s possible they go with a spot starter or bullpen game Sunday. Team believes an extra day for everyone in rotation could be beneficial right now.

According to Rob Thomson, the team will start with Taijuan Walker on Friday, have Ranger Suarez return to the rotation on Saturday, then go with what looks to be a bullpen game on Sunday.
