Eflin was scratched from Thursday's start against the Marlins due to congestion and body aches, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin has tested negative for COVID-19, but he's now scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Padres so he can get some extra rest as he works through his illness. Matt Moore will start Thursday's series finale against Miami.

Eflin didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander exited the game in line for his third win of the year, but the Phillies' bullpen once again melted down. Eflin still came through with his ninth quality start of the season, and he'll carry a 4.20 ERA and 87:11 K:BB through 90 innings into his next outing.

Eflin (2-6) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits over five innings Sunday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin was tagged with nine hits, tied for his second-most in a start this season, but all six earned runs came via the long ball. He served up a pair of homers in the first and another in each of the third and fifth innings. The 27-year-old's ERA jumped to 4.39 with an 83:10 K:BB over 84 innings. Eflin had allowed just three homers over his previous five outings. He's lined up to face the Mets on the road next weekend.

Eflin allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out two over five innings Tuesday against the Dodgers. He did not walk a batter nor did he factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin gave up an early run in the first and then gave up another two in the fourth after back-to-back doubles by Zach McKinstry and Julio Urias. The 27-year-old failed to last six innings for the second time in his last three outings after going at least six in his first 10 starts of the year. He owns a pedestrian 3.99 ERA and 1.24 WHIP to go along with a 77:10 K:BB over 79 innings --- his 10 walks are the second least this season among qualified pitchers behind Jacob deGrom. Eflin is expected to take the mound again early next week against the Nationals.

Eflin didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Atlanta despite tossing six innings of one-run ball, giving up eight hits and two walks while fanning seven.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin has gone winless over his last five outings, but this start was a clear step in the right direction since he had allowed three or more runs in three of his four starts prior to this game against Atlanta. Despite the subpar record, Eflin still owns a strong 3.89 ERA across 74 innings (12 starts) and will aim to take another step in the right direction when he takes the ball again. He's scheduled to start next week against the Dodgers on the road.

Eflin will not start any of the games in the Phillies' weekend series against Washington, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies were able to rearrange their rotation after their scheduled game Wednesday against the Reds was postponed. Rather than skip Spencer Howard or Vince Velasquez, neither of whom opened the year in the rotation, they'll push Eflin back, meaning he'll have over a week between his previous start Sunday against the Rays and his next outing, which will come Tuesday against Atlanta at the earliest. There haven't been reports that he's dealing with an injury, so this appears to be simply a way to get him some extra rest.

Eflin (2-5) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Rays after allowing four runs on six hits and a walk while fanning five across 4.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin has now dropped four straight decisions and has given up at least three runs in three of those contests -- though it's worth noting this was his first appearance where he couldn't complete six innings. The right-hander has seen his ERA rise from 3.58 at the end of April to 4.10 following his six starts during the current month. He's scheduled to take the ball next week against the Nationals at home.

Eflin (2-4) took the loss after surrendering four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings Monday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin wasn't on top of his game in this one, but he kept his club in the contest before exiting with a two-run deficit. He's now been saddled with three consecutive losses, allowing 10 earned runs over his last 18 innings. The right-hander's next outing tentatively lines up for Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Eflin (2-3) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Marlins after giving up two runs on six hits while fanning six across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin has been tagged with the loss in each of his last two starts, but this outing was clearly a step in the right direction after his five-run, seven-hit start against the Nationals on May 13. The right-hander has three quality starts in four appearances this month and owns a 3.77 ERA on the season while giving up two or fewer runs in five of his last seven contests. He will have a shot at redemption next week since his upcoming start is scheduled for Monday against the Marlins on the road.

Eflin (2-2) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out nine across six innings to take the loss Thursday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin surrendered a pair of two-run home runs in the first inning, which accounted for the majority of his damage on the day. He did settle in from there and allowed four hits, one walk and one earned run across his final five frames. Eflin also flashed impressive strikeout stuff, punching out a season-high nine batters. Across 51.1 frames, Eflin has maintained a 3.86 ERA with a 51:5 K:BB for the campaign. He projects to take his next turn through the rotation Wednesday against the Marlins.
