Smyly allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six across five innings Thursday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly pitched well through three innings, allowing only one run on a solo homer. He stumbled down the stretch, however, allowing four hits and three earned runs in the fourth frame. After allowing only one earned run across his first 13 innings and two appearances with the Phillies, Smyly has allowed 14 earned runs in his last 15.2 frames -- spanning three starts. That's balanced out to a 4.71 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 30 strikeouts across 28.2 innings in his tenure with his new club. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for Wednesday at Boston.

Smyly took a no-decision during Friday's win over the Giants, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fourth start for the Phillies, Smyly surrendered three home runs, including a two-out solo homer to Kevin Pillar in the second inning, a solo shot to Joey Rickard in the third and a long ball to Stephen Vogt in the sixth to even the score, 5-5. The 30-year-old had shut the Giants out over seven innings earlier in the season, but clearly his didn't have his best stuff this time around. Smyly will carry a 3.80 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 76:41 K:BB into a Thursday showdown against the Cubs.

Smyly (2-6) took the loss after surrendering five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago struck for five runs in the second inning, four of which came on a grand slam with two outs in the frame. After faring well in each of his first two outings with the Phillies (one earned run over 13 innings), Smyly took a step back during Sunday's finale. The southpaw owns a 7.01 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 72 strikeouts over 69.1 innings this season

Smyly (2-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Giants after giving up only four hits and one walk over seven shutout innings. He recorded five strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly scattered four singles Tuesday and didn't allow a Giant to reach second base in his first scoreless performance of the season. The 30-year-old has looked great through his first two starts for Philadelphia with one run allowed on eight hits over 13 frames, which should earn him a longer look in the starting rotation. Assuming he remains on turn, Smyly will start Sunday versus the White Sox.

Smyly is listed as the Phillies' scheduled starter for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty will be rewarded with a second turn through the rotation after limiting the Pirates to one run while striking out eight in six innings in his Phillies debut July 21. Smyly could be one of the top candidates to lose his spot in the rotation, however, if the Phillies are active to bring in another starting pitcher via trade prior to Wednesday's deadline.

Smyly gave up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight through six innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly allowed three baserunners and a run to score in the first inning, but shut down the Pirates through five scoreless innings to record his first quality start. Smyly picked up eight swinging strikes on his curveball and only allowed one hit with his fastball. This was a nice effort for the 30-year-old in his first appearance for Philadelphia after posting an 8.42 ERA through 51.1 innings with the Rangers. Smyly will make his next start Sunday against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.

Smyly has officially signed with the Phillies and will start Sunday against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly had most recently been a member of the Brewers organization, though he elected free agency after marking three starts with their Triple-A affiliate.

Smyly is scheduled to start Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly's contract with the Phillies is still pending a physical, but assuming everything checks out he'll enter the starting rotation Sunday. The 30-year-old had an 8.42 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 52:34 K:BB over 13 games with the Rangers prior to being released in late June.

Smyly signed a major-league contract with the Phillies on Friday and could enter the starting rotation Sunday versus the Pirates, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly was released by the Rangers in late June and subsequently signed a minor-league deal with the Brewers, but he opted out of that deal Thursday and will make his way back to the majors with the Phillies. The 30-year-old struggled with an 8.42 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 52:34 K:BB in 13 games with Texas, but it appears he'll receive another starting chance in Philadelphia.

Smyly elected free agency Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smyly's stint with the Brewers didn't last long, as the southpaw made just three appearances with the team's Triple-A affiliate -- posting a 4.97 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB in 12.2 innings -- before returning to the open market. The 30-year-old Smyly spent time with the Rangers earlier in the season but was designated for assignment after going 1-5 with an 8.42 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 52:34 K:BB in 51.1 innings.
