3 Phillies Pitchers Primed for September Call-Ups During Playoff Push
A Trio of Arms Ready to Bolster Philadelphia
Matt Strahm, Nick Maton, and Andrew Painter All Options for the Stretch Run
As the Philadelphia Phillies make a push for a playoff berth, they could soon receive a boost from three of their top pitching prospects. Matt Strahm, Nick Maton, and Andrew Painter are all expected to be called up from the minor leagues in September.
Strahm is a left-handed reliever who was acquired from the Boston Red Sox in August. He has a 3.86 ERA in 40 appearances this season. Maton is a right-handed starter who has been dominant in the minor leagues this year, posting a 2.06 ERA in 20 starts.
Painter is the Phillies' top pitching prospect and one of the best in all of baseball. The 19-year-old right-hander has a 2.32 ERA in 18 starts this season. He is expected to make his major league debut in September.
The Phillies are currently in a tight race for a wild-card berth. The addition of Strahm, Maton, and Painter could give them a much-needed boost down the stretch.
- Matt Strahm has a 3.86 ERA in 40 appearances this season.
- Nick Maton has a 2.06 ERA in 20 starts this season.
- Andrew Painter has a 2.32 ERA in 18 starts this season.
The Phillies are hoping that these three pitchers can help them make a playoff run. If they can all pitch well, they could be a major factor in Philadelphia's success.
