Brogdon (4-1) retired the only batter he faced and earned the win Friday versus Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Brogdon relieved starter Vince Velasquez with two outs in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old Brogdon got Cavan Biggio to fly out to end the inning, and Philadelphia took the lead with a five-run rally in the top of the seventh. The right-handed Brogdon has a 5.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 15.1 innings this year. He's given up three runs (two earned) in in 5.1 innings in May, and he typically hasn't seen much high-leverage work.

Brogdon (3-1) was dealt the loss and a blown save Tuesday against the Giants after he let up six runs on five hits and a walk over 0.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Brogdon entered Tuesday having pitched 6.2 scoreless innings to open up the year but completely fell apart while trying to hold a two-run lead in the eighth. He recorded a quick first out but allowed the next two men on before Alex Dickerson launched a three-run homer to give the Giants their first lead of the day at 7-6. The hurting didn't stop there, as Wilmer Flores capped off a six-run inning with a three-run homer of his own to give his team a comfortable 10-6 cushion. It was an unexpected collapse from Brogdon after he was so good to start the season as his ERA ballooned to a 7.36.

Brogdon (3-0) gave up two hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings Wednesday to pick up the win in an 8-2 victory over the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has already made three appearances in 2021 and come away with the win in each of them, as Brogdon found himself in the right place at the right time to benefit from an offensive surge by the Phillies. The 26-year-old has a 0.00 ERA and 3:1 K:BB in 3.2 innings, but the team's crowded bullpen could keep him from consistent late-inning work even if he continues to pitch well, although his fantasy value is hardly suffering in his current role.

Brogdon (2-0) earned the win Monday against the Mets, striking out one and allowing one hit in a scoreless eighth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Brogdon was brought in to face the Mets' fifth, sixth and seventh hitters with a two-run deficit in the top of the eighth. He allowed a single to J.D. Davis, then got Jeff McNeil to ground into a double play and struck out James McCann. That left Brogdon as the pitcher of record when the Phillies scored five runs in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead for good. While Brogdon likely won't remain the Phillies' wins leader for too much longer, he appears to be fourth in the team's high-leverage hierarchy behind Hector Neris, Jose Alvarado and Archie Bradley, so he should continue to pitch in close games going forward.

Brogdon (1-0) picked up the win in Thursday's season opener against Atlanta, tossing a clean 10th inning.

EDGE Analysis

In an oddity that can only happen in an era where teams start with a runner on second base in extras, Brogdon only faced two batters to retire the side. He shut down a pair of very good ones however, getting Freddie Freeman on a groundout before Marcell Ozuna flew out to center fielder Roman Quinn, who threw Ozzie Albies out at home for the inning-ending double play. It's notable that it was Brogdon who was called upon for the high-leverage frame after Archie Bradley, Jose Alvarado and Hector Neris had already been used. That suggests that Brogdon is fourth in the team's hierarchy -- nowhere near save chances at the moment, but within striking distance should he pitch well to open the season while the more established names ahead of him struggle.

Manager Joe Girardi said Brogdon is "fine" after a rib issue forced him to exit Sunday's spring game against the Pirates, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's apparently a somewhat common issue for the 26-year-old to have a rib pop out, so the rib was popped back in and he's good to go. Brogdon made his big-league debut for the Phillies last season and pitched well with a 3.97 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings.

Brogdon was removed from his relief appearance in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates due to a back injury, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After striking out the first batter he faced, Brogdon asked out of the contest when manager Joe Girardi and a team trainer visited him on the mound. The 26-year-old can be considered day-to-day until the Phillies provide another update on his condition.

Brogdon is seen as a potential setup man by the Phillies this season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brogdon flashed plenty of potential during his 11.1-inning debut last season, posting a 3.97 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. His 38.6 percent strikeout rate proved to be more than enough to overcome his 11.4 percent walk rate and 36.4 percent groundball rate. Brogdon's inexperience means he's clearly behind Hector Neris and Archie Bradley in the battle for the closer job, but it's not out of the question that he could push for saves at some point if he excels while those two struggle.

Brogdon was recalled from the alternate training site Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was optioned to the alternate site between the games of Sunday's doubleheader, but he'll make a quick return to the team. Brogdon has surrendered five runs on four hits (three homers) with a 7:3 K:BB over five innings this season.

The Phillies optioned Brogdon to their alternate training site following their 2-1 loss to the Marlins in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

With top backstop J.T. Realmuto (hip) not available for either end of the twin bill, the Phillies called up catcher Rafael Marchan to add some depth behind the plate after Andrew Knapp drew the start in Game 1. Marchan will take the active roster spot of Brogdon, who struck out four over 2.1 perfect innings of long relief in the Phillies' 2-1 loss in the first game.
