The Philadelphia Phillies kick off a six-game homestand Monday night with the first of a three-game set with the Seattle Mariners.
Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson made a notable Andrew Painter decision in the immediate aftermath of Zack Wheeler's diagnosis.
They have called up right-hander Nolan Hoffman and have optioned Max Lazar. The 28-year-old right-hander started the year with the Texas Rangers before coming over to Philadelphia. Since joining the Phillies, he has performed well in the minors for the organization.
