The 2019 Phillies season was ravished by injuries from the start and the depth of the team wasn’t good enough to keep the club afloat for 162 games. Even before opening day major pieces such as David Robertson and Tommy Hunter were in the trainers room, and they’d soon be joined by Andrew McCutchen and almost every other pitcher on the roster.
Not only did the Phillies face a rash of injuries, they saw several of their key cogs take some steps back. Aaron Nola wasn’t the Cy Young candidate they needed, but he still kept the Phillies in ballgames.
