Additionally, Zack Wheeler will start Monday in Atlanta, while Aaron Nola will take Game 3 of the series on Wednesday.
will start Game 3 on Wednesday. It’s possible that the Phillies will keep Sánchez and Lorenzen in a piggyback for the Mets series from Sept. 21-24 at home, but which pitcher will start the piggyback is unknown.Lorenzen has struggled in his five outings since. He’s only pitched through six innings twice over those five outings, and has 7.96 ERA with 11 walks and 14 strikeouts in that span. Batters are hitting .333 against him.
Pitching out of the bullpen shouldn’t be a difficult transition for Lorenzen, who pitched as a reliever throughout his time at Cal State Fullerton and for a few seasons with the Cincinnati Reds. His ability to pitch both as a reliever and as a starter was one of the reasons thePart of the calculus with this decision is to manage the heavy workload of Lorenzen and Sánchez.
“The other thing you look at it is, OK, that kind of resets your bullpen after that day [after you piggyback]. We’ve been running with one less bullpen arm than the rest of the teams. For a while now. So it might help us out there too.”The Braves have earned the playoff pole position, but the Phillies have shown that’s not everything
This change doesn’t mean that Sánchez won’t be pitching deep into games. Right now, the plan is in flux. But it’s clear that the 26-year-old left-handed pitcher has made a positive impression. Since he was recalled on June 17, Sánchez has a 3.25 ERA in 15 starts. He’s increased his strikeout rate over the last season, from 19.8% to 23.6%, and dropped his walk rate in more than half, from 9.6% in 2022 to 4.0% in 2023.
“He might be a four-inning guy depending on what happens,” Thomson said. “Because we’re watching his innings still. It depends on how it looks. And the way it looked the other day, it didn’t look like September to me for that kid. Because the velocity was good. The command was great. The secondary pitches were great. So it doesn’t look like he’s slowing down. We’ll just have to watch it.”“What I said to him was, ‘Look, I consider you a starter.
