Eflin (10-7) allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four over 6.1 innings, picking up the victory Friday against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin looked sharp throughout his appearance, giving up just one run on a solo blast in the sixth inning. Friday's outing marks his first quality start since Aug. 10 against the Padres. Eflin will carry a 4.26 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 111 strikeouts through 120.1 frames into his next appearance Wednesday against the Mets.

Eflin (9-6) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over five innings while striking out four as the Phillies fell 7-1 to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has hit a rough patch, failing to last at least six innings in any of his last three starts, but his issues date back further than that. Eflin headed into the All-Star break with a 3.15 ERA, but his numbers since have been decidedly mediocre -- a 5.53 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 35:13 K:BB in 42.1 innings, with only two quality starts in eight trips to the mound. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing Friday on the road against the Mets.

Eflin had his next start moved up to Saturday against the Cubs, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin will be pitching on normal rest, as both he and Aaron Nola will jump Vince Velasquez in the rotation. Velasquez will now take the mound Monday in Miami while Nola gets the assignment Sunday for the series finale versus the Cubs.

Eflin (9-5) allowed four runs (two earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.1 innings as he took the loss Monday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin surrendered a run in the first inning, one in the second and two unearned runs in the fourth prior to being lifted in a 4-2 game. He tossed 68 of 102 pitches for strikes. Eflin has been hit hard in each of his previous two outings, as he's given up 18 hits and nine runs over 8.2 frames. The 24-year-old right-hander will search for a better result in his next start, as he lines up to face the Cubs on Sunday.

Eflin was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Eflin will rejoin the big-league rotation after a brief stay in the minors due to some roster maneuvering. The 24-year-old right-hander owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 91:22 K:BB across 17 starts (97.1 innings) with the Phillies this season. He'll face Stephen Strasburg (neck) in this one.

The Phillies are listing Eflin as their probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following his start in the second game of a doubleheader Aug. 16, but the move was strictly procedural with the right-hander serving as the Phillies' 26th man for the twin bill. The 24-year-old will rejoin Philadelphia on Wednesday when first eligible to do so and make his normal turn in the rotation, enabling the Phillies to get by without having to add another starter to the mix. He'll oppose Stephen Strasburg (neck) in the divisional matchup.

Eflin (9-4) was returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after Thursday's start against the Mets. He allowed four earned runs over 6.2 innings in the victory.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, Eflin is being returned to the minors after serving as the club's 26th man for Thursday's doubleheader. The plan is for him to finish 10 days in the minors, according to Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic.

Eflin was added to Philadelphia's roster as the 26th man ahead of his start in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Eflin will rejoin the big-league team after being optioned down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley last weekend. Across 16 starts this year, he's logged a 3.57 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with an 8.5 K/9.

Eflin will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Eflin was optioned to Triple-A following his Aug. 10 start against the Padres, but the transaction was strictly procedural rather than one made out of dissatisfaction with the right-hander's performance. By sending Eflin to the minors temporarily, the Phillies were able to open up another spot on the active roster for a player who was more likely to contribute between his starts. The Phillies are able to add the 24-year-old back to the big-league roster before the minimum 10 days since he'll be designated as the 26th man for the twin bill.

Eflin was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Phillies needed a roster spot for the acquisition of Justin Bour, and Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets will allow the team to recall Eflin as the 26th man for the twin bill. The 24-year-old won't be skipped in the starting rotation but must remain in the minors until Thursday's doubleheader, barring an injury move from the Phillies.
