Walker has only pitched one game in relief since 2014. They kind of need him to be their "Eflin" in October, though -- Eflin gave them 10.2 innings over 10 game last October, surrendering no earned runs in NLCS or World Series.

Phillies adding Orion Kerkering to the active roster for the final 9 games.

They need both an active roster move and a 40-man roster move. (Yunior Marte probably the active roster guy)

Well, we know that move will NOT be Rodolfo Castro

UPDATE: Drew Ellis DFA'd, and Yunior Marte returned to minors

Winkleman has been hyping this guy for months - worth a shot

[FolesMVP09]

I don't have Apple so I can't watch - will just follow online
Not having to watch Walker is a good thing.

[FolesMVP09]

Kerkering wearing #50

Marty Bystrom, the last Phillies pitcher to make his MLB debut in Sept and pitch in the post season, also wore #50

Ain't no stopping us now.....

[FolesMVP09]

Magic # heading to 4 - Brewers score 12 in the 2nd vs the Marlins

[FolesMVP09]

Can't blame Walker (so far) if they lose

[Lipschitz]

Realmuto comes alive at home

[BelmontShore]

Wow. Nice treat to wake up to.

What a thing it could be if Realmuto and Castellanos could get hot going into the playoffs.

3-2, Phillies.
