With just a couple days left until Opening Day, the Phillies are making their final roster decisions.
The team announced on Monday that they have optioned left-handed relief pitcher Zac Curtis, outfielder/infielder Roman Quinn and starting pitcher Zach Eflin to AAA. Here’s what these moves mean for the team with the first regular season game set for Thursday.
The starting five is set, although it will be just four starters until Jake Arrieta is ready to go. Aaron Nola will take the ball on Opening Day, with Vince Velasquez, Nick Pivetta and Ben Lively in the rotation until Arrieta’s scheduled first start, set for April 8 at Citizens Bank Park against the Miami Marlins.
