Phillies' Michael Plassmeyer: Rocked in first MLB start
Michael Plassmeyer (0-1) took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets, surrendering 10 runs (nine earned) on eight hits -- including three home runs -- over 3.2 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.With the Philadelphia Phillies already locked into the No. 4 seed in the National League playoffs, Plassmeyer got called up for his season debut and first career big-league start so the team could avoid using any arms it might need in the wild-card round, which starts Tuesday. The 26-year-old southpaw got through the first inning unscathed but quickly fell apart after that, serving up a pair of homers to Francisco Alvarez and another to Francisco Lindor before getting the hook. Plassmeyer posted a 5.05 ERA over 67.2 innings at Triple-A this season, and he's unlikely to be a factor for Philly in the postseason.

Phillies' Michael Plassmeyer: Expected to start nightcap
Michael Plassmeyer is with the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday and is expected to start the nightcap of the doubleheader against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.The Phillies have to cover 27 innings this weekend and are locked into the fourth seed in the National League even if they lose all three contests, so their primary concern will likely be ensuring that their most important arms stay fresh for the postseason. That could mean a first major-league start for Plassmeyer, a 26-year-old who's MLB experience to date consists of 7.1 innings of relief work last season. He owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 14 starts and two relief appearances for Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season.
