Phillies injury updates and pitching plans for the weekend ahead.
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Taijuan Walker, the lone Phillies starting pitcher yet to appear in a game this spring, will throw in the bullpen Friday in Clearwater.
If all goes well, Walker will either throw live batting practice Monday or pitch in the Phillies' game that day against the Yankees, manager Rob Thomson said after the Phillies lost to the Rays Thursday afternoon. Walker missed several days of camp two weeks ago for a personal reason then dealt with soreness in his right knee after returning. The Phillies would like to get him back on a mound soon given the longer period of time he takes to ramp up compared to other starting pitchers. He pitched in just three Grapefruit League games a year ago, when he missed time in camp participating in the World Baseball Classic for Team Mexico.
Cristopher Sanchez will throw batting practice before making his next start. Various Phillies — Sanchez, Mick Abel, Scott Kingery, Nick Castellanos, Kody Clemens, Tyler Phillips and others — have dealt with the bug traveling through the Phils' clubhouse. "They're starting to come back, we're getting less and less people with symptoms," manager Rob Thomson said, before knocking on wood."Hopefully, we're getting healthier."‘It will be cool for my parents': A special day for Garrett Stubbs as he faces brother for 1st time in prosRight-hander Ryan Burr exited Thursday's game early with tightness behind his right shoulder. Burr is in camp on a minor-league deal as a non-roster invitee.
