Alan Rangel allows four runs in bulk relief

Alan Rangel

PHI Relief Pitcher #57

Player Stats

Alan Rangel allowed four runs over four innings in a loss against the Mets on Saturday.

Rangel entered the game in the second inning following four outs from opener Tim Mayza. He held the Mets scoreless over four innings before things unraveled in the sixth. New York would string together three straight hits and a walk to bring home two runs. Rangel would depart with two runners on base, both scoring later in the frame. The 28-year-old right-hander had pitched well in his previous two outings as a bulk reliever. He’ll take a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 13/2 K/BB ratio across 12 innings into another likely bulk appearance against the Pirates in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Phillies optioned RHP Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rangel returns to the minors after gobbling up 2 2/3 innings in relief of Andrew Painter during Monday’s contest against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old boasts an inflated 5.88 ERA across 26 innings of work in the big leagues this season.

Phillies recalled RHP Alan Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rangel has made six appearances (three starts) for the Phillies this season, compiling a 5.40 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 26/12 K/BB ratio across 23 1/3 innings of work. He’s expected to work as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen for the time being.

Phillies optioned RHP Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley

Rangel allowed five runs in four innings in a loss to the Mets on Sunday. The Phillies needed to send him down to get another fresh arm up in the bullpen. The Phillies will have to decide on their fifth starter on Saturday against the Yankees.

Alan Rangel allowed five runs in four innings and took the loss against the Mets on Sunday.

Rangel gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out four. He fell to 0-3 with the loss. Rangel gave up two runs in the first inning on a two-run home run to Francisco Lindor. He allowed three more runs in the second inning during a rally that included four hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly. Rangel has a 5.40 ERA heading into his start against the Yankees at home next weekend. He’s not worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
Zack Wheeler

PHI Starting Pitcher #45

Phillies will start Aaron Nola, Jesus Luzardo, and Alan Rangel against the Mets this weekend.

Nola will start on Thursday, there will then be a day off to accommodate the World Cup Final, and then Luzardo and Rangel will throw on Saturday and Sunday. The Phillies could have chosen to use Zack Wheeler on normal rest this weekend, but the veteran will likely get a two-start week against the Dodgers and Yankees instead.
Alan Rangel

PHI Relief Pitcher #57

Alan Rangel allowed three hits and three runs with three walks and five strikeouts over 3 1/3 innings in a loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

Rangel didn’t have a great day here. He was a bit predictable with first-pitch fastballs followed by changeups and sliders. The problem was that he struggled to locate either of those secondaries. So, he often had to battle through tough at-bats and gave up two home runs. After getting to 90 pitches in each of his last two outings, he was yanked before reaching 70 here. Funny enough, this game spun out here soon thereafter when reliever Tanner Banks gave up back-to-back-to-back home runs. Rangel remains a depth option with intriguing stuff but poor command.

Phillies recalled RHP Alan Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start on Wednesday.

Rangel was sent down just four days ago, but he can be called back up since the team put Lou Trivino (thoracic muscle spasm) on the injured list. Rangel has a 3.38 ERA in 16 innings with the Phillies and will start on Wednesday against the Reds.

Phillies optioned RHP Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rangel heads back to the minors after tossing four shutout frames in a spot start against the Pirates earlier this week. The 28-year-old has compiled a serviceable 3.38 ERA across 16 innings at the highest level this season.

Phillies optioned RHP Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Rangel pitched well in Thursday’s start against the Pirates, walking four batters over four scoreless frames. He’ll continue to work as a starter or as a multi-inning reliever at the Triple-A level, staying ready for the next time that he’s needed to work for the Phillies. A corresponding move will be made prior to Friday’s game.
Alan Rangel

PHI Relief Pitcher #57

Alan Rangel threw four scoreless innings against the Pirates on Thursday despite walking four.

The Pirates went 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Rangel actually had pretty decent secondary stuff, as both his slider and changeup drew 38 percent whiff rates, so he wound up giving up just five hard-hit balls. Rangel lowered his ERA to 3.38 with this outing but isn’t pitching deep enough into games to be a real threat for wins. He’s not a recommended start next week against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports that the Phillies are currently discussing a potential deal with Nestor Cortes (biceps).

Cortes has been out for all of 2026 while recovering from surgery on his left arm. There’s no guarantee that the 31-year-old will be able to pitch in 2026, but he could be a potential multi-inning option for the final month — and potentially the postseason — for Philadelphia.

Mets recalled INF Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse.

Wagaman is up with Jorge Polanco (ankle) once again being placed on the injured list due to his ankle issue. Wagaman will likely see some time over the final month-plus, but it’s hard to see much fantasy significance in his profile.

Mets optioned RHP Jack Weisenburger to Triple-A Syracuse.

Weisenburger threw 1 1/3 innings during Tuesday’s game against the Mets, so New York will bring up a fresh arm for the bullpen. Weisenburger seems to be a likely candidate for promotion when rosters expand.

Mets placed INF Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list with left ankle bursitis.

Lower body issues have plagued Polanco throughout the season — and really, for much of his career — and the 33-year-old will once again hit the shelf due to the ankle troubles. The 33-year-old could return at some point near September, but this is a lost first season for Polanco with the Metropolitans.

Matt Wilkinson will start Wednesday’s game against the Guardians.

Wilkinson will get the nod for his MLB debut. The man they call “Tugboat” has a 5.15 ERA and 43/17 ERA in his 43 2/3 innings for Triple-A Sacramento. Wilkson has a chance to be a decent option in the coming years, but it’d be risky to trust him as a streamer Wednesday.

Lourdes Gurriel (adductor) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

It was his first rehab game since being placed on the injured list nearly a month ago with an adductor strain. The outfielder didn’t have any success, but the important thing for the 32-year-old was that he was able to get back on the field. He should e an option for the D-backs before the end of the month, if there are no setbacks, of course.

Congratulations to Suarez on his first decision since June.

He’s now 5-3 while posting a 3.41 ERA in 22 starts this season, and he’ll pitch in Miami next time out.
