• Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Heading to Miami

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  The Marlins acquired Phillips from the Phillies on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Phillips doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so he will report to the big club and will be part of the Marlins' Opening Day roster. While Phillips may work out of the Miami bullpen initially, he'll likely be in the mix for starts at some point, given that the team's rotation depth has already been tested by spring injuries to Ryan Weathers (forearm) and Edward Cabrera (finger). Over eight appearances (seven starts) for the Phillies in 2024, Phillips submitted a 6.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB.

• Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Continues to struggle Wednesday

  08/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Phillips allowed five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday. Phillips fell behind 3-0 in the first inning and gave up two more runs in the fourth. The right-handed rookie avoided a loss thanks to a productive Phillies offense, but he continued his string of recent struggles. After turning heads to begin his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA, three wins and a 19:2 K:BB over his first four outings, Phillips has since given up 17 runs with an 8:5 K:BB across 11 innings over his subsequent three starts. His time in the Phillies' rotation could be nearing an end, as Ranger Suarez (back) is expected to return during the team's Aug. 23-25 series in Kansas City.

• Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Allows four runs in win

  08/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Phillips (4-1) picked up the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk over five innings while striking out three. Phillips had a difficult time getting through the Dodgers' lineup from the jump, surrendering two runs in the opening frame as he allowed four of the first six batters to reach. The right-hander would then allow the first two men to reach in the second as well, leading to another two runs coming across for Los Angeles, though he closed out his time on the mound by hurling three consecutive scoreless innings. Phillips has now won four of his last five starts, though he's also allowed at least four runs in each of his last two outings while posting a 4:4 K:BB.

• Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Struggles mightily in Seattle

  08/03/2024 • By RotoWire

  Phillips (3-1) allowed eight runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 1.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Mariners. Phillips had pitched 15 consecutive scoreless innings over his last two starts, but Victor Robles ended that streak with a solo home run in the first inning. Luke Raley added a three-run home run and Justin Turner hit a grand slam in the second, which was enough to end Phillips' outing early. He's now at a 4.39 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB through 26.2 innings over five appearances (four starts). The rookie right-hander will have a tough test when looking for a bounce-back effort next week on the road versus the Dodgers.

• Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Fires shutout Saturday

  07/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Phillips (3-0) picked up the win Saturday in an 8-0 victory over the Guardians, allowing only four hits and a walk over nine shutout innings. He struck out four. Making just his third career big-league start, the right-hander produced the first shutout by a Phillies rookie since Zach Eflin in 2016. Phillips tossed 105 pitches (71 strikes) in the impressive performance, and his scoreless streak stands at 15 innings after he blanked the Bucs in his previous outing. The Phillies could be looking for rotation help at the trade deadline with Ranger Suarez (back) joining Taijuan Walker (finger) on the IL, but Phillips is proving he can fill one of those spots quite capably. The 26-year-old will take a 1.80 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 25 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.
