What is the story about?
The Phillies’ bullpen, which has been quite strong of late, is about to get another reinforcement to help shorten up games.
We know the last time that Orion Kerkering set foot on a major league mound, bad things happened for him and for the Phillies.
However, the way the bullpen is currently constructed, he shouldn’t have to worry about high leverage situations any time soon. There are others ahead of him in the pecking order and that’s alright.
Kyle Backhus, after a rough Opening Day appearance, has been better with each subsequent appearance, yet with his option remaining, was the odd man out.
