Phillies option reliever Orion Kerkering to Triple-A, call up Max Lazar
Orion Kerkering was sent down after allowing 15 runs in 9.1 innings over his last nine outings, and Max Lazar was recalled to the bullpen.
- On Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies optioned reliever Orion Kerkering to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and recalled right-hander Max Lazar to the 28-man roster following Kerkering's 18.69 ERA over four appearances this month.
- After Kerkering allowed four runs in Saturday's 10-3 loss to the New York Mets, interim manager Don Mattingly admitted concern about the 25-year-old, stating it is "hard to find places to use him."
- Struggling with a 4.97 ERA this season, Kerkering allowed 15 runs in 9.1 innings over his last nine appearances, a stark contrast to his emergence as a key bullpen piece in 2023.
- Unless an injury occurs within 15 days, Kerkering remains ineligible for the Wild Card Series and National League Division Series; the team will hold a minicamp at Lehigh Valley starting Thursday.
- Philadelphia still pursues a postseason spot, with FanGraphs Playoff Odds giving the Phillies a 96.5% chance to clinch during the final seven games of the season. Lazar joins the bullpen to support the push.
