Interesting tidbit here from Inquirer:

Four of Falter’s five starts in place of Wheeler last season came against the noncontending Pirates, Diamondbacks, and Marlins (twice). If he starts the third game of the season in Texas rather than the fifth or sixth at Yankee Stadium, the Phillies could get him two favorable matchups in April against the Reds.

Also:

It’s between lefty-hitting Darick Hall, Jake Cave and Kody Clemens, and righty-swinging Dalton Guthrie and Kingery for the last two bench jobs. Hall has the most power but the least positional versatility. Cave plays every outfield position; Clemens every infield spot. Guthrie and Kingery play the infield and outfield, including center. And save for Guthrie, they’ve all swung the bat well.

To me, this is bigger than the Painter news:

Left-hander Ranger Suarez, who’d been on Team Venezuela’s roster in the World Baseball Classic, has left the tournament and returned to the Phillies due to tightness in his left forearm,

Might need to open the season with a rotation of

Nola
Wheeler
Walker
Falter
Plassmeyer

Oy. Don't like tight forearms.

Wheeler gives up 3 ER in the first inning.

Hall in beast mode this spring.

Good for him.

Just smacked out a HR vs a leftie on a slider.

Kingery goes deep.

Nice easy swing.

If Castellanos continues to struggle, they could put this out there vs. some righties:

C Realmuto
1B Hoskins
2B Stott
SS Turner
3B Bohm
LF Schwarber
CF Marsh
RF Cave
DH Hall
