The Phillies returned Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Wednesday's doubleheader against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson pitched two shutout innings and struck out two batters during the first game of Wednesday's festivities, lowering his MLB ERA down to 2.25 through four frames. He'll head back to the minors now that his duties as the 27th man are complete, but he remains an option to return to Philadelphia down the line as a multi-inning reliever.

The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson opened the season as a member of Lehigh Valley's rotation but transitioned into a bullpen role in late April. He's had mixed results as a reliever, striking out 20 batters over 14.2 innings but also issuing 10 walks and posting a 5.52 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. Johnson is likely to be deployed in lower-leverage spots while he's up with the Phillies.

Johnson has been moved to a relief role at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson made his first appearance out of the bullpen Tuesday, touching 98 mph across two scoreless innings with a 2:2 K:BB. The 26-year-old has a big arm but has struggled to stay healthy and throw strikes consistently, so the Phillies' decision to shift him to a relief role makes sense.

The Phillies optioned Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's stay in Philadelphia will last just one start, as he'll head back to Triple-A after he was lit up for nine earned runs over 2.1 innings during his MLB debut in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Marlins. The Phillies recalled left-hander Tyler Gilbert to provide some extra coverage in the bullpen in the short term, but it's not immediately clear whom Philadelphia might turn to as Johnson's replacement in the rotation.

Johnson (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's major-league debut did not go as planned as he allowed 11 batters to reach base and nine runs while collecting only seven outs. The right-handed newcomer who was acquired from Baltimore prior to the trade deadline and was given the opportunity after allowing just one run across 16 innings spanning three starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Johnson presumably had an opportunity to secure a longer look from the Phillies had he shown some effectiveness but it's tough to see him getting another opportunity after such a rough performance.
