Jerad Eickhoff Struggling in Rehab Assignments
Jerad Eickhoff has had trouble staying healthy over the past two seasons.The 2019 Phillies pitching rotation began with Aaron Nola, Jake Arrieta, Zach Eflin and Vince Velasquez. It looks a little bit different now behind Aaron Nola with Jason Vargas and Drew Smyly taking over two of the spots. The Phils came into the season hoping that a couple of their young pitchers would step up in the rotation. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case and Vince Velasquez is the only one out of himself, Pivetta, Eflin and Eickhoff showing some consistency at this point.
