  • PHI Starting Pitcher #99

    Taijuan Walker, who has spent the last month in the pen, will serve as the Phillies’ starter Tuesday against the Giants.
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Walker could throw around four innings after topping out at 2 2/3 innings as a reliever. Walker isn’t promised anything beyond the one start, but he could keep the spot into the second half as the Phillies weigh whether the time is right for Andrew Painter’s debut.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters top prospect Andrew Painter will not pitch in the All-Star Futures Game.
    Painter made the National League’s roster for the annual prospect showcase, but will not pitch in the actual game itself. The 22-year-old is completely healthy, but will remain shut down during the All-Star break, in an effort to have him available at some point for Philadelphia’s second-half playoff push. He’s showcased top-of-the-rotation stuff this season at the Triple-A level, but the surface stats haven’t exactly backed it up, with a pedestrian 4.24 ERA and 45/18 K/BB ratio across 40 1/3 innings over nine starts. He projects as an immediate impact contributor for fantasy purposes once he arrives in the big leagues.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter allowed two runs over five innings on Saturday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
    Painter struck out five and also handed out four free passes. The most encouraging development here is that the 22-year-old top prospect was hitting 99 mph in this outing and the stuff remains borderline elite. The results haven’t quite matched the hype in recent weeks, but that shouldn’t dampen enthusiasm for his impending arrival. There’s a path to starts with the Phillies at some point in the second half, but the front office is probably just fine with letting him continue to iron things out on the doorstep of the majors for now.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect allowed six runs on eight hits in five innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
    This was against a Triple-A Red Sox lineup that is now without Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony. There’s a lot of enthusiasm for Painter, and he remains a top-tier pitching prospect, but he hasn’t pitched since 2022 and has a 5.19 ERA in 26 innings at Triple-A this season. He’s likely the 6th starter in Philadelphia for the next month or so with Aaron Nola (ribs) suffering a setback; however, Painter will need to pitch a little better and also show that he can pitch on four days’ rest before he gets a call-up.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter allowed four runs on six hits in four innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
    He also walked four and allowed two home runs while striking out five on the day. He still has a solid 3.86 ERA on the season, but this is just a reminder that he’s returning from Tommy John surgery, and so there will likely be some inconsistencies this season.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter recorded seven strikeouts and allowed two runs — one earned — over four innings on Wednesday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
    Painter built up his pitch count to 71 (49 strikes) in his second outing at the Triple-A level. The dynamic 22-year-old top pitching prospect is expected to arrive in the majors at some point in the early stages of the second half after a couple additional outings on the doorstep of the big leagues. He should make an immediate impact for fantasy managers once he debuts.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter will start on Wednesday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
    The Phillies are aiming for roughly 75 pitches over five or six innings for Painter’s third outing at the Triple-A level continues to gradually build up his workload and stamina in anticipation of a midseason arrival in the majors. The 22-year-old boasts true top-of-the-rotation stuff and figures to make an immediate impact for fantasy purposes once he reaches Philadelphia.

  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter will start on Thursday for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
    Painter will make his first start in the upper minors after four outings for Low-A Clearwater to open the season. The 22-year-old is universally-regarded as the top pitching prospect in baseball and is expected to make his major-league debut at some point in the second half of the year.
