Phillies Call Up McFarlane for Bullpen | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies are making a bold move by calling up 25-year-old right-hander Alex McFarlane from Double-A Reading to bolster a worn-out bullpen, especially after throwing over 200 pitches in a recent game. McFarlane boasts a stellar 2.06 ERA in 37 games, striking out 47 batters in 35 innings while opponents hit just .187 against him. To make room, they’ve sent Alan Rangel back to Triple-A — a move that could be temporary, given McFarlane’s prior brief call-up. With key injuries like Brad Keller out for the season and the trade deadline looming, this is a critical roster shakeup with big implications for the team’s postseason push.
