9/19/24 Mets vs. Phillies prediction: MLB picks, odds, best bets Thursday. Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Three weeks after getting yanked from the Phillies' starting rotation, Taijuan Walker is back with another shot at redeeming a glum campaign in Thursday's clash with the Mets. Walker is afforded the start after impressing Rob Thomson with the three scoreless relief innings he dealt against the Mets in the 6-4 victory Saturday. I'm not holding my breath: Thomson's hand is forced to lend Walker another look after unsuccessfully trialing three other pitchers in that No. 5 spot with the postseason nearing. The regression in Walker's game

9/17/24 Taijuan Walker is Back in the Phillies' Starting Rotation. Taijuan Walker will start on Thursday against the New York Mets, Rob Thomson announced on Monday night. The Phillies have struggled to find a consistent 5th starter this season, just like every other team in baseball. Walker struggled immensely when he returned from the IL back at the end of April. Kolby Allard had a few good spot starts, but got rocked in his last outing.

Infield prospect Luisangel Acuña gets 2 hits in big league debut with the Mets 47 minutes ago AP Share This Story Facebook Twitter email Print Linkedin Reddit PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Luisangel Acuña had two hits in his major league debut with the New York Mets. Acuña was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse and started at shortstop in Philadelphia, batting ninth. He hit a leadoff single in the fourth inning against Taijuan Walker and another leadoff single in the ninth off Carlos Estévez. Acuña, a younger brother of Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., is one of the organization's top prospects. He hit .258 with 40 steals while splitting time among second base, shortstop and center field with Syracuse.

9/09/24 Not Having a 5th Starter is a Baseball Problem as Much as a Phillies Problem. Can you name me five #5 starters across Major League Baseball, without including the Phillies? The Phillies have a 5th starter problem right now, but they're right there with every team in the league. Taijuan Walker has been a disaster. Tyler Phillips had three good starts before everything went downhill.

9/08/24 Phillies get mauled by the Marlins as their latest fifth starter gets shelled. Given their vista from atop the standings, it would be easy for the Phillies to wave off their lack of a passable No. 5 starter as merely a regular-season nuisance. In that case, the Phillies have a real problem every five days. Because when Taijuan Walker, Michael Mercado, Tyler Phillips, and now, Seth Johnson start games, the Phillies usually have no chance.

9/05/24 Phillies plan to promote pitcher to make big league debut on Sunday. The Philadelphia Phillies demoted Taijuan Walker from the starting rotation last week after losing nine straight games he started, but the move may have been done prematurely. Tyler Phillips was meant to be the short-term answer as a holdover until Kolby Allard could be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh on Sept. 10. Unwilling to give Phillips a chance at redemption, Philadelphia is turning to another option. The team is planning to call up right-hander Seth Johnson to start Sunday's game against Miami, according to Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.

9/05/24 Philadelphia Phillies Reportedly Adding Top Pitching Prospect to Their Rotation. Despite the Philadelphia Phillies' four star starting pitchers putting together strong performances on a consistent basis, there are still some concerns about this rotation because their fifth spot has been a complete disaster in recent months. After starting the year on the injured list, Taijuan Walker has been a shell of himself. This forced the Phillies to finally move him into the bullpen where he likely spends the rest of the season as he continues to work on things to get his form back.

8/31/24 Phillies' Taijuan Walker wants to make a re-start out of the bullpen. He doesn't seem to know how to break out of what's been a season-long slide, but Taijuan Walker would like to do something about it. Originally signed away from the Mets as a third Phillies starter to a fairly lucrative deal – a four-year, $72 million pact on Dec. 16, 2022 – Walker has declined to the point where not only his current status but his Phillies future is in doubt. Overall in an injury plagued 2024, he is 3-6 with a 6.50 ERA. Amid a six-inning stint in which Walker allowed 13 hits and six earned runs leading to a 10-0 loss to Houston Wednesday, Rob Thomson finally had seen enough, declaring a day later that Walker, 32, would move to the bullpen.

8/26/24 It's Time the Philadelphia Phillies Admit Their Mistake About Taijuan Walker. Coming out of their three-game weekend slate, the Philadelphia Phillies finally woke up on the offensive end and destroyed the Kansas City Royals' pitching staff. Taking two out of three, the Phillies earned a much needed series victory that should give them plenty of momentum heading back home for an important homestand where they face off against the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves. Based on the way Philadelphia was hitting the ball over the weekend, they could have pulled off their first sweep since before the All-Star break. In the bottom of the third inning, Taijuan Walker allowed five runs, giving the Royals a 6-1 lead that ultimately was insurmountable.
