Daily News | Phillies hope to have update on Andrew Painter Monday; Bryce Harper expected to report Wednesday
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Phillies manager Rob Thomson said on Sunday that the team has no update on the status of 19-year-old pitcher Andrew Painter. Painter, who is competing for the fifth spot in the Phillies’ rotation, made his first spring training start on March 1 against the Minnesota Twins. The next day, he came into Phillies camp with a “tender elbow,” according to Thomson.
Painter was in the Phillies’ clubhouse on Sunday morning and in the dugout for Saturday afternoon’s game against the Pirates. He was not wearing an arm brace or sleeve.Harper to report to Phillies camp on WednesdayPhillies right fielder/designated hitter Bryce Harper will be in Phillies camp on March 8. He will continue to rehab from his Tommy John surgery in Clearwater. Harper underwent the surgery in November and had been rehabbing from his home in Las Vegas.
“It looked like we were coming out like gangbusters,” Thomson said. “We swung the bats pretty good in the first inning. So, it was nice to see Trea get the lead off base hit and then Schwarber gets the ball up in the air and drives the ball. That was very encouraging.” “We’ve got some ways we can play with it,” he said, when asked if Rhys Hoskins would hit third. “We’ve got J.T. sitting there. See how Castellanos does during the rest of spring. We’ve got Hoskins, we’ve got Bohm who is really swinging the bat. We’ve got some options.”Zack Wheeler made his second start of the spring. It did not go as well as his first start, when he allowed no hits and no runs through two innings, also against the Toronto Blue Jays.
