After Latest Rough Outing, Phillies Demote Andrew Painter

Andrew Painter allowed six earned runs and two homers in two innings, and the Phillies said a corresponding roster move will follow Thursday.

  • On Wednesday, the Philadelphia Phillies optioned rookie right-hander Andrew Painter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following his eighth loss of the season against the Miami Marlins.
  • Painter, the 13th overall pick in the 2021 draft, has struggled through a rocky rookie season with a 1-8 record and 7.06 ERA, surrendering 14 home runs across 14 starts.
  • During Wednesday's 12-4 loss, Painter allowed six earned runs in just two innings. Interim manager Don Mattingly stated, "Some places you have a chance to be more patient."
  • Philadelphia will announce a corresponding 26-man roster move on Thursday. The team holds a Wild Card spot at 40-34 while seeking internal depth or waiver wire options to fill the vacancy.
  • The Phillies may pursue external trades before the August 3 deadline to stabilize their back-end rotation and support playoff ambitions. With a 40-34 record, consistency in pitching has become urgent.
