Daily News | Phillies rotation could get reinforcements with Zach Eflin and Zack Wheeler working to return
A few dozen media members, players, coaches and trainers huddled under the overhang of the Phillies dugout on Tuesday afternoon, eager to catch a glimpse of Zach Eflin. The right-hander hadn’t faced live hitters since June 25, when heGiven Eflin’s injury history — he’s had surgery on both knees — it was unclear whether he’d be back by the end of the season. But recently, he’s been making progress. Last week, Eflin threw bullpen sessions in Arizona and San Francisco.
Eflin wasn’t the only pitcher who threw in Tuesday’s simulated game. Reliever Seranthony Domínguez, who has been on the with right triceps tendinitis, also threw a few pitches. Thomson said he was hitting 95-96 mph, which is encouraging, given that Domínguez was not throwing for a while. The Phillies will reevaluate Domínguez and Eflin on Wednesday and make a decision on whether they go on rehab assignments.
Thomson said he would have preferred to have Wheeler back “yesterday,” but it’ll likely be a little while.
