Rob Thomson says Walker's next start will be moved up to Wednesday to give Cristopher Sanchez an extra day of rest.’s. Walker will now start Wednesday’s series finale against Houston, and Sánchez will pitch the series opener against the Braves on Thursday.The intent behind the switch was to get Sánchez an additional day of rest, Thomson said. The left-hander threw a complete game against the Nationals on Aug. 17 and tossed six innings against Atlanta on Thursday.
“I just wanted to make sure that we’re OK to flip them,” Thomson said. “I was encouraged by velocity. I know he threw some pitches down the middle, but he got behind as well. I think he deserves, because of who he is and his experience, he deserves another shot.” “You can always make a change, but I’m confident he’s going to bounce back at this point. Maybe not everybody is, but I am. But that’s who I am.”
Kennedy, from Millville, has Phillies baseball in his blood. His grandfather, Don Money, was a four-time All-Star third baseman, spending his career with the Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers. Kennedy, 25, was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks out of Millville High School in 2017, and was acquired by the Phillies from the Tigers on June 7 in exchange for cash considerations.
