Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Demoted after disastrous start
The Philadelphia Phillies optioned Tyler Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.Phillips' return to the Phillies' rotation will come to an end after just one start, with the right-hander heading back to the minors after he recorded just two outs while allowing six earned runs on eight hits in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays. The Phillies called up right-hander Nick Nelson from Triple-A to replace Phillips on the active roster and provide the bullpen with a fresh arm in the short term. The team will need to settle on a new fifth starter Sunday in Miami, with Taijuan Walker and Kolby Allard perhaps representing the top candidates to fill the spot vacated by Phillips.

Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Escapes with no-decision Tuesday
Tyler Phillips came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays, surrendering six runs on eight hits over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one without walking a batter.The right-hander got chased from the game after 36 pitches (28 strikes) and homers by Daulton Varsho and Addison Barger, but the Philadelphia Phillies were able to claw their way back and won it in the ninth on Kyle Schwarber's third long ball of the night. Since a four-hit shutout over the Guardians on July 27, Phillips has been in a tailspin, posting a 17.74 ERA over his last four big-league outings while serving up six home runs in only 11.2 innings. If he gets another start, Phillips lines up to face the Marlins on the road this weekend.

Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Called up, will start Tuesday
The Philadelphia Phillies recalled Tyler Phillips from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. He's scheduled to start Tuesday versus the Blue Jays in Toronto, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.As expected, Phillips will be taking over as the Phillies' new No. 5 starter after the struggling Taijuan Walker was moved to the bullpen last week. After getting his first big-league call-up in July, Phillips enjoyed a strong run through his first four outings with a 1.80 ERA and 0.76 WHIP in 25 innings, including a complete-game shutout of the Guardians on July 27. However, Phillips struggled badly thereafter to earn a demotion to Triple-A, giving up 17 earned runs over his final three starts. He failed to deliver a quality start in either of his two outings with Lehigh Valley following his demotion, so he'll be difficult to use with much confidence in fantasy leagues, even though he'll tentatively line up for a two-start week in his return to the majors. After the Toronto outing, Phillips could pick up another start next Sunday in Miami.

Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Good bet to start Tuesday
Tyler Phillips is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Tuesday in Toronto, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.He'll be taking the rotation spot vacated by Taijuan Walker, who has been demoted to the bullpen. Phillips has offered a mixed bag during his 36 major-league innings, throwing a shutout and adding one other scoreless start but getting demoted after allowing 17 runs in 11 frames in August. He could earn additional starts after Tuesday, but Kolby Allard will also become an option once he's eligible to be recalled on Sept. 10.

Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Sent to Triple-A
The Philadelphia Phillies optioned Tyler Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.After starting his MLB career with a 1.80 ERA and 19:2 K:BB over his four outings, Phillips has turned in a 13.91 ERA and 2.27 WHIP across 11 innings over his last three starts. He'll go back down to Triple-A to iron out the kinks, with the Phillies calling up Tyler Gilbert from Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move to provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen. Ranger Suarez (back) is closing in on a return from the injured list and should fill the spot in the rotation that had belonged to Phillips.

Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Allows four runs in win
Tyler 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: Fires shutout Saturday
Tyler 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 Philadelphia 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.
