US EditionPhillies pitcher Andrew Painter scratched from scheduled start due to migraine
Andrew Painter was scratched because of a migraine, and the Phillies turned to a bullpen game while he later struck out the first batter he faced.
- On Sunday, Philadelphia Phillies rookie Andrew Painter was scratched from his scheduled start against the Arizona Diamondbacks due to a migraine, then entered in relief during the third inning.
- Forced into an impromptu bullpen game after Painter entered with a 4.82 ERA and was unable to make his third start, the Phillies turned to relief pitcher Zach Pop to fill the opening role.
- Painter, who turned 23 on Friday, debuted on April 1 with 5.1 innings of one-run ball against Washington, though he allowed four earned runs and nine hits over four innings last week in San Francisco.
- Pop went two innings, allowing three hits and one run, including an RBI double to James McCann, as Philadelphia relied on its bullpen to cover remaining innings amid roster shortages.
- With Zack Wheeler due to rejoin the rotation during an April 24-26 series in Atlanta, manager Rob Thomson said the team "possibly" will use a six-man starting rotation.
