Phillies Rotation

It’s seemed like the Phillies’ fifth starter situation can’t get any worse, yet it has the last three trips through the rotation. They can skip the No. 5 spot this week but won’t do so.

Taijuan Walker’s goal is to reclaim his rotation spot next spring, but in the short term he wants to show the Phillies before October that he can serve a purpose in the bullpen.

Taijuan Walker is moving to the bullpen and Wednesday could very well have been his last start in a Phillies uniform.

The Phillies will discuss whether Taijuan Walker makes his next start, manager Rob Thomson said after Wednesday’s 10-0 loss in which Walker gave up six runs on a career-high 13 hits to the Astros.

Not only will Taijuan Walker make his next start, he’s being moved up a game.

The Phillies will have their top two arms on the mound to start a series in Atlanta, while it looks like they’ll again miss the Braves’ Cy Young frontrunner.

The Phillies did everything well in the first half but were led specifically by a starting staff that has fallen off over the last month. Can they turn it around?

After missing just over seven weeks with right index finger inflammation, Taijuan Walker will rejoin the Phillies’ rotation Tuesday against the Marlins to begin a six-game homestand.

Six weeks removed from a lat strain, Spencer Turnbull will get back on a mound this week, while Taijuan Walker could be back with the Phillies as soon as Tuesday.

Taijuan Walker’s velocity was up in his first rehab start and he could be back with the Phillies this weekend, while Ranger Suarez might not be too far behind.

Taijuan Walker is ready to begin a rehab assignment and could be back for the Phillies by mid-August.

An update on the Phillies’ rotation plans out of the All-Star break and the health of Ranger Suarez and Zack Wheeler.

Zack Wheeler will not start Sunday in the final game before the All-Star break as the Phillies exercise caution with his back.

Spencer Turnbull will make another start in Anaheim. Here’s how the Phillies’ rotation lines up for the week ahead.

The Phillies’ decision to extend Taijuan Walker into the seventh inning did not work Sunday, but they still pulled off a sweep of the Padres thanks to another day of depth and power from the lineup.

When will Spencer Turnbull pitch next? What are the Phillies hoping to see in Taijuan Walker’s debut? Rob Thomson discussed the rotation situation Saturday.

Six series in, the Phillies rotation leads the National League in practically every meaningful category. How good can this staff be?

The Phillies haven’t put a timetable on Taijuan Walker’s return, but the math tells you he’s unlikely to return any time soon.

Zack Wheeler will snap Aaron Nola’s streak of six consecutive Opening Day starts when he gets the nod on March 28 against Atlanta.

Taijuan Walker has had a slow, unusual beginning to spring training and spoke after his first start Saturday about playing catch-up, his velocity expectations and 2024 priorities.
