The Toronto Blue Jays enjoyed a well-deserved day off after sweeping the A's and are now preparing to face the Philadelphia Phillies, who are second in the NL East. The Phillies are grappling with significant issues in their bullpen, ranking low in several key metrics. The loss of pitcher José Alvarado has exacerbated their problems, leading to band-aid solutions like transitioning Taijuan Walker to a relief role. With the deadline approaching, the team must address these issues to remain competitive as the season progresses.
The Phillies rank 25th in bullpen ERA and their depth has been an issue all season, significantly hampered by the loss of key reliever José Alvarado.
To address their bullpen struggles, the Phillies have made mid-season adjustments, including moving Taijuan Walker to the bullpen, but these are temporary fixes.
