PHILADELPHIA — This week, the Philadelphia Phillies recalled right-handed pitcher Alex McFarlane from Double-A Reading as part of ongoing bullpen and rotation adjustments.
The move comes amid multiple injuries and transactions, including the placement of several pitchers on the IL and the release of Taijuan Walker. McFarlane provides additional depth to a staff under pressure early in the season.
The young arm’s call-up reflects the team’s search for fresh contributions.
This roster decision adds options to the pitching group.
Increased involvement from prospects and depth pieces may help the Phillies navigate challenges under interim manager Don Mattingly in 2026.
