McGarry is not on the active season-opening roster at Double-A Reading due to side tightness, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

But the Phillies believe it's minor, per Lauber, and don't expect McGarry to miss much time. The 23-year-old right-hander racked up 130 strikeouts across 87.1 minor-league innings in 2022, though he did issue a whopping 53 walks along the way. He'll repeat the Double-A level to begin the 2023 campaign after a short stint in the Triple-A Lehigh Valley bullpen last September.
