Phillies Call Up McFarlane for Bullpen Boost | Philadelphia Phillies News
Description
The Phillies are calling up rising bullpen arm Alex McFarlane, their 17th-ranked prospect, to plug a glaring hole in their relief corps. After a rough stretch with shaky pitching and a brutal pitching duel against the Mets, the team needs fresh arms—and McFarlane’s got them. In Double-A, he’s dominated with a 2.06 ERA, 47 strikeouts, and 12 saves in 35 innings, armed with a 101 mph fastball and sharp secondary pitches. Called up in April without a chance to pitch, he’s now primed for a real shot at a big league debut—and could be the spark the Phillies need to turn things around in the second half, just like Orion Kerkering did last year.
