Daily News | Zach Eflin takes first step in long road back to Phillies rotation
There’s a long way to go before Eflin is ready — or even eligible — to pitch again for the Phillies. He has been sidelined since late June with patellofemoral pain in his right knee and can’t be reinstated from the 60-day injured list until Aug. 25, at the earliest.
Eflin posted a 4.37 ERA through 13 starts before tweaking his knee while fielding a ball to the right of the mound on June 9 in Milwaukee. The 28-year-old right-hander made two more starts before going on the injured list June 28.in a deadline trade with the Los Angeles Angels. Syndergaard moved into Eflin’s spot in the rotation and allowed four runs on 11 hits in five innings Thursday night in a rain-shortened 5-4 victory over the Washington Nationals.
“There’s nothing wrong with having six starters going down the stretch,” Thomson said. “I hope that we get that. Not that we’d do that, but I’ve seen it done before.”With Suárez, a groundball pitcher, on the mound, newly acquired infielder Edmundo Sosa got his first Phillies start at third base Saturday night, with Alec Bohm moving to designated hitter. Thomson said he was “excited” to get a look at Sosa.
