    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.

    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.

    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.

    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #57
    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.

    Blake Snell allowed one run and struck out 10 batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Tuesday.

    Snell came out sharp in his first start since May 9, striking out the side against the Royals in the first inning. He retired the first ten Royals hitters before Bobby Witt Jr. reached on a single in the fourth and scored on a sacrifice fly by Salvador Perez. Snell gave the Dodgers two more scoreless frames, collecting ten strikeouts over six innings in an outstanding return to the mound. He’ll look to follow it up with a start against the Rockies in Colorado on Monday.

    Michael Wacha allowed three runs with five strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Wacha surrendered a solo homer to Mookie Betts in the second inning. He settled in to fire four more scoreless innings before the Dodgers got to him for two more runs in the seventh on three hits. Wacha would depart with two outs in the seventh at 96 pitches. He struck out five. The 35-year-old right-hander will take a 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and a 117/41 K/BB ratio across 150 2/3 innings into a start against the Athletics in Sacramento on Monday.

    Bruce Turang has a sprained thumb that could cause him to miss some time, manager Pat Murphy revealed.

    Turang was able to finish the game against the Padres, but it looks like this could be an issue going forward. If so, the Brewers will need to place either he or Joey Ortiz, who is out with a neck issue, on the IL before Wednesday’s game. The Brewers don’t have any additional middle infielders on the 40-man, but they could add Jett Williams, who will need to be protected after the season anyway, or call on someone like Freddy Zamora as a stopgap. Signing Jorge Mateo might be another option.

    Jose Altuve said initial imaging on his left foot was negative but that he’ll go additional imaging on Wednesday.

    We’ll assume it was X-rays that were negative and that he’ll be undergoing an MRI as a followup. Altuve left Tuesday’s game after being hit on the foot by a pitch and was still feeling sore after the contest. If he needs to miss some time, the Astros could recall Raynel Delgado to play behind Nick Allen at second base.

    Luis Rengifo went 2-for-4 and hit his first career grand slam Tuesday in the Padres’ 11-2 massacre of the Brewers.

    Showing off against the club that signed him last winter, Rengifo improved to .321/.415/.457 with three homers in 24 games for the Padres. He hit .205/.280/.254 in 57 games with the Brewers, but they’re surely not bitter at all.

    Walkler Buehler turned in six innings of one-run ball in defeating the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Handed a big early lead, Buehler completed six innings for the first time since June 3 and the fourth time in 24 starts the season. He improved to 7-5 with a 4.88 ERA and a 100/47 K/BB in 114 1/3 innings. He’s slated to take on the Mets on Monday.

    Kyle Harrison was tagged for eight runs in 4 2/3 innings by the Padres on Tuesday.

    We might get a change here, as all five of the runs from the second inning could have been unearned after Jihwan Bae fumbled a throw at second base. However, no error was ruled initially. Harrison went on to give up three homers, including a grand slam in that second inning. It might have been a considerably different outing if not for the miscue, but as is, Harrison drops to 9-3 with a 3.47 ERA. He’ll face the Mariners next Tuesday.
