Jonathan Bowlan blows save against Braves

Jonathan Bowlan

PHI Relief Pitcher #52

Player Stats

Filling in for Jhoan Duran in the ninth, Jonathan Bowlan gave up a run and took a blown save Friday against the Braves.

Bowlan allowed two groundball singles with one out, with center field Derek Hill committing an error on the second that allowed DeShawn Keirsey Jr. to score from first. The run was ruled earned afterwards, since Ronald Acuña Jr.'s flyout to center surely would have been a sac fly had the runner been on third. Bowlan had the ninth tonight because Duran pitched the previous two days. It’s the fourth straight appearance in which he’s allowed exactly one run, taking his ERA from 2.82 to 3.27.

Jonathan Bowlan worked a scoreless ninth inning to pick up a save Friday against the Angels.

Jhoan Duran didn’t pitch Friday, which is curious after the Phillies had an off-day Thursday. It’s the second save for Bowlan of the season, and it lowers his ERA to 2.77 on the season. If Duran has something going on, Bowlan could see more chances, but obviously fantasy managers would need more clarity before considering a roster addition.

Phillies activated RHP Jonathan Bowlan off the 15-day injured list.

Bowlan ended up missing just the minimum stint on the injured list while dealing with his right groin strain. The 29-year-old will have a chance to pitch in the mid-to-late innings now that he’s healthy enough to do so.

Phillies placed RHP Jonathan Bowlan on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain

Bowlan has already made seven appearances for the Phillies this season, allowing three runs on eight hits in seven innings with an 8/1 K/BB ratio. He should be sidelined for a few weeks.

PHI Relief Pitcher #62

Phillies acquired RHP Jonathan Bowlan from the Royals for LHP Matt Strahm.

It’s an interesting reliever for reliever swap assuming that the Phillies don’t have plans to convert Bowlan to a starter next spring. The 29-year-old registered a serviceable 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 46/17 K/BB ratio across 44 1/3 innings with the Royals last year. Given that he’s out of options, Bowlan seems destined for a middle relief role in the Phillies’ season-opening bullpen.
Matt Strahm

PHI Relief Pitcher #25

Robert Murray of Fansided reports that the Royals have a deal in place to acquire left-handed Matt Strahm from the Phillies.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com adds that Jonathan Bowlan will be heading to the Phillies in the trade. It’s a terrific get for the Royals though, as Strahm has developed into one of the most reliable left-handed setup men in all of baseball. The 34-year-old southpaw registered a 2.74 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 70/20 K/BB ratio over 62 1/3 innings while snagging six saves during the 2025 campaign.

Royals recalled RHP Jonathan Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha.

The 28-year-old hurler will take the place of the injured Bailey Falter (bicep) in the Royals’ bullpen. Bowlan has registered a 4.73 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 24/11 K/BB ratio over 26 2/3 innings with the big league club this season.

Royals recalled RHP Jonathan Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha.

Bowlan was up with Kansas City for Saturday’s doubleheader against Cleveland and will remain in the big leagues in the wake of starter Kris Bubic hitting the injured list with a rotator cuff strain. The 28-year-old righty holds a respectable 4.93 ERA over 23 2/3 innings (17 appearances) this season in the big leagues.
Jonathan Bowlan

KC Starting Pitcher #62

Jonathan Bowlan will serve as the 27th man for Saturday’s doubleheader against the Guardians.

Bowlan will stick around for Saturday’s twin bill as auxiliary relief depth for Kansas City after being optioned to Triple-A Omaha prior to Friday’s rainout. The 28-year-old righty has posted a serviceable 4.64 ERA over 21 1/3 innings (16 appearances) this season in the big leagues.

Royals optioned RHP Jonathan Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha.

Bowlan, 28, will head back to the minors now that Hunter Harvey (shoulder) is off the 60-day injured list. The right-hander will likely be back before the end of the year in a low-leverage role.
