Zac Curtis News
Prior to Thursdays home game against the San Francisco Giants, the Philadelphia Phillies made a move that altered their bullpen. Left-hander Zac Curtis was demoted in favor of Jake Thompson, leaving the club without a left-handed pitcher. The Phillies have long moved into somewhat of an exclusive right-handed pitching staff, having last had a southpaw starting pitcher in 2016. The 25-year-old Curtis made four appearances with the big league club, surrendering two runs across five innings of work. Thompson, meanwhile, had allowed seven runs in 8 2/3 innings of work before his demotion at the end of last month.
The Philadelphia Phillies placed pitcher Victor Arano (shoulder) on the disabled list with a right rotator cuff strain on Sunday, replacing him by recalling reliever Zac Curtis on Monday. The 23-year-old Arano had been one of the best arms out of the Phillies bullpen, posting a 0.75 ERA through 10 appearances this year. Last season, he also made 10 appearances, posting a 1.69 ERA. Despite the injury being described as mild by the clubs assistant general manager, the move was made. On Monday, Curtis was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 25-year-old tossed a scoreless inning on Monday against the Miami Marlins.
