Velasquez will make his next start Sunday against the Nationals instead of Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
After Friday's game was rained out, the Phillies opted to have Nick Pivetta move back to start Saturday's game. Thankfully, Velasquez's start only has to be delayed one day due to the decision to play a split doubleheader Sunday to make up Friday's contest. The young fireballer is expected to start the nightcap of the doubleheader against Washington ace Max Scherzer, a much tougher assignment than his original opponent, southpaw Gio Gonzalez.
