MIAMI — Prior to Saturday’s win over the Miami Marlins, Zach Eflin threw 59 total pitches, when you count his bullpen, warm-ups and throwing to a couple batters.
Unfortunately for the Philadelphia Phillies, Eflin’s bruised right knee didn’t respond how they had hoped it would.
“Yeah, so he came in a little sore today,” interim manager Rob Thomson said Sunday morning at loanDepot Park. “And so, we’re just gonna back off a little bit and he’ll get checked tomorrow.”
Because of the soreness, Thomson said that Eflin will be re-evaluated Monday in Philadelphia.
