Even as Ranger Suarez has pushed his way into a fifth-starter discussion that already included Vince Velasquez and Nick Pivetta, the Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly keeping their options open in terms of adding pitching depth.

According to Jon Heyman of RADIO.COM, the Phillies “recently” watched veteran right-hander Ervin Santana pitch. It’s unclear what the context was when the 37-year-old pitched in front of a representative for the Phillies.

The past two seasons have seen rather disastrous results for Santana in brief stints at the major league level.
