⚾ About Andrew Painter... NBCSPhilly
Painter was in play to be the Phillies' fifth starter out of spring training, which seemed bold considering he's 20 years old and wasn't even two years removed from being drafted out of high school.
Painter's production in his lone minor-league season and even-keeled demeanor gave the Phillies confidence this could work. He dominated for Clearwater, Jersey Shore and Reading in 2022, posting a 1.56 ERA and 0.89 WHIP with 155 strikeouts and 25 walks. He entered the season as the No. 5 prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America.
Out of the All-Star break, the first five times the No. 5 spot comes up for the Phillies is against a bottom-third offense: Brewers, Guardians, Pirates, Marlins and Nationals. If Sanchez can maintain that level of control, his recent success could extend into August.• Brandon Marsh worked out in left field Saturday and could find himself at the position frequently in the season's final two months.
• Rule 5 pick Noah Song was up to the mid-90s with his fastball Tuesday when he struck out four batters over 1⅔ innings for Single A Clearwater. His stuff wasn't as crisp Friday night when he walked two in a scoreless inning on 24 pitches.
