I sat down with David Cone for an hour to chat about pitching past, present, future.

It was AWESOME. One of my favorite podcasts I've ever done.

This is likely a spot start with Nola returning from the IL after.

That said, who knows if there will be another hole to fill in the rotation when the time comes. Abel is a solid spec add.

Scott Lauber @scottlauber.bsky.social · Jun 1

The Phillies are moving Taijuan Walker back to the bullpen in a leverage role. Mick Abel will be called up to start Thursday in Toronto.
