Phillies News

The Philadelphia Phillies are scrambling to solidify their pitching staff as they gear up for a crucial stretch run, claiming right-hander José Urquidy off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. With Jesús Luzardo sidelined, Urquidy will be thrust into action in a bullpen game tomorrow, a move that underscores the urgency of the situation. The Phillies are holding onto second place in the division with an 84-68 record, but a recent 3-4 stretch has raised eyebrows, especially as Jonathan Bowlan exited last night's 3-0 victory over the Mets with a groin injury, further complicating an already shaky bullpen. If the Phillies are to make a postseason push, they’ll need their pitching to return to vintage form, much like Aaron Nola's gem last night.
