Velasquez will continue to be used out of the bullpen, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Velasquez was a candidate to start Tuesday against the Cardinals, but Nick Pivetta will instead take the mound. Velasquez delivered two scoreless innings with four strikeouts Friday against the Brewers, and the Phillies apparently liked what they saw and want to keep him in that role. The 26-year-old could be utilized in a high-leverage spot but may see usage in a variety of situations early on.
