Syndergaard will start Game 3 of the World Series against the Astros on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He has thrown 5.1 innings across three appearances this postseason, with his three innings Oct. 15 against Atlanta representing his postseason high. Syndergaard has given up one run on three hits and a walk while striking out four over that span. He is pitching opposite Lance McCullers and will presumably turn the ball over to the bullpen after one turn through the order, if not earlier.

Syndergaard is only scheduled to go through the order once in his start in Game 4 of the NLDS against Atlanta on Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the Phillies could always adjust their plans based on Syndergaard's performance, his numbers since his mid-season move to Philadelphia suggest that he's unlikely to do much to change his manager's mind. In 10 appearances for his new team, he owns a mediocre 4.12 ERA, though his very low 13.7 percent strikeout rate suggests things could be meaningfully worse. The Phillies could hope to get multiple innings from Bailey Falter following Syndergaard's exit, though they could also turn to high-leverage options very early in the game. Even using Zack Wheeler in relief appears to be on the table.

Syndergaard will start Game 4 of the NLDS on Saturday against Atlanta, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After their win in Game 3 on Friday, Syndergaard will have the chance to send the Phillies to the NLCS with a strong performance. He entered Game 2 of the NLDS as a reliever and threw one inning -- his only appearance of the postseason. Bailey Falter was another option to draw the start in Game 4, and he could still serve in a multi-inning relief role if Syndergaard has a short outing.

Syndergaard (10-10) gave up two hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win in an 8-2 victory over the Nationals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard looked very good in his final start of the season, and his first start since returning to the rotation after a brief stint in the bullpen. He held the Nationals scoreless into the sixth inning and helped to improve the Phillies' postseason chances by notching his 10th win of the year. Syndergaard lowered his ERA to 3.94 with the performance. It remains to be seen which role he will fill for the Phillies should they be playing further into October.

Friday night's game between the Nationals and Phillies was postponed and Syndergaard will start Game 2 of a doubleheader Saturday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will get an extra day of rest due to the remnants of Hurricane Ian. Saturday will be Syndergaard's final start of the regular season. He has a 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in 18.1 innings over four appearances this month.

Syndergaard will start Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard last pitched Sept. 21 and fired two scoreless innings out of the bullpen, but he'll briefly return to the rotation for Friday's twin bill. The right-hander struggled in his last four starts prior to the move to the bullpen with a 6.14 ERA across 22 innings.

Syndergaard will work as Zack Wheeler's piggyback partner for the next two turns in the rotation, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard, who has a 6.14 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over his last four starts, lost the battle for the last rotation spot to Bailey Falter and will come in to relieve Wheeler in his first two starts back from the injured list. The arrangement could lead to Syndergaard qualifying for a win or two if he pitches well in this new role. His first opportunity will come Wednesday against Toronto, and he's then expected to follow Wheeler again Sept. 27 in Chicago. The Phillies expect to add Syndergaard back to their rotation for their Oct. 1 doubleheader in Washington.

Syndergaard (9-10) allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Syndergaard allowed a pair of home runs, with the primary damage coming on a three-run shot by Bryan De La Cruz in the fourth inning. He was fairly uninspiring otherwise, inducing only four swinging strikes on 82 total pitches. Syndergaard has now allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last four starts, and he has a 6.14 ERA with a 13:3 K:BB across 22 frames in that span. Overall, he owns a 4.18 ERA in 127 innings on the season.

Syndergaard (9-9) picked up the win in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Nationals, giving up three runs on eight hits over six innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander delivered his fourth quality start in his last six outings, but he hasn't quite been as reliable lately as that would suggest. Syndergaard has a 4.25 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB through 36 innings over that stretch, and his lack of dominance leaves him susceptible to the occasional implosion.

Syndergaard did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a 5-4 loss against the Giants. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

His own throwing error resulted in the Giants' first run in the first inning and Joc Pederson added an extra run to his ledger after Syndergaard exited the game in the fifth. Syndergaard was lifted after 75 pitches -- his lowest total so far in six starts for the Phillies. The right-hander has lost a lot of his dominance, but he's taken the ball 21 times between the Angels and the Phillies this season and posted respectable results (4.07 ERA, 1.28 WHIP) after nearly two full years away due to injury.
