Andrew Painter is heating up after a rough stretch, tossing six strong innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley with just one run and six strikeouts — no walks. His last two starts? Eleven innings, three runs, and a much-improved ERA. Demoted in mid-June after struggling with homers and his ERA, he’s been working on his fastball and command — and it’s paying off. But the Phillies aren’t rushing him back; they’re building him for 2027, even if he doesn’t pitch again this year. Meanwhile, the team’s fifth starter spot remains a glaring weakness — they’ve lost 11 straight starts there — and Brian Keller may get the nod this week as they eye a trade deadline fix.
