PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES -200 T RICHARDS -R / J ARRIETA -R
Marlins are a complete shit show right now , they have no pitching , and only one batting threat in Brian Anderson, Richards allowed five runs across 4.1 innings in his major-league debut against the Red Sox on Monday, but he apparently impressed Mattingly enough to stick in the Marlins' thin rotation for the time being. The 24-year-old hadn't pitched above Double-A prior to Monday's outing, though he posted a solid 2.87 ERA and 77 strikeouts across 75.1 innings with Double-A Jacksonville in 2017.
Because of Arrieta's late signing, the Phillies wanted their new ace to receive additional reps at High-A Clearwater prior to making his season debut. Arrieta's workout went well, putting him on track to start Sunday's game against the Marlins as planned.
