Six-man rotation likely for Phils

BOSTON - The Phillies appear to be gearing toward a six-man rotation as their starter Wednesday night is listed by the team as "TBD."

The home game against Atlanta falls on Adam Morgan's turn in the rotation, but there is a strong possibility that it could be Jerome Williams on the mound instead. Morgan then would pitch on Thursday, giving him five days of rest between starts.

The six-man rotation - which would likely include Morgan, Williams, Aaron Harang, Aaron Nola, Jerad Eickhoff, and Alec Asher - would provide a respite for the team's four rookie starting pitchers.
