The Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> are making another change to their pitching staff ahead of the second game in their series against the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alan Rangel<\/a> is being optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after pitching 2.2 innings in relief of Andrew Painter<\/a> in the series opener against the Cardinals. The Phillies pitching staff was incredibly shorthanded for that contest, so Painter and Rangel had to do everything they could to eat innings.<\/p>\n

They succeeded, with Painter taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning before running into trouble. Rangel relieved him and ran into some obstacles of his own in the eighth inning, but there was no one to relieve him. He eventually worked out of trouble, getting the ball to Jonathan Bowlan<\/a> for the save.<\/p>\n

In need of another fresh arm, given the current state of their bullpen, Philadelphia<\/a> is finally turning to one of their top prospects: Alex McFarlane. He is being promoted to the Big Leagues for a third time in 2026, and hopefully this time, it will be to give him a legitimate look as part of the bullpen mix.<\/p>\n
