Daily News | Phillies’ Zach Eflin makes successful return, could be ‘Swiss Army knife’ down the stretch
. There were days, as recently as last month, when Eflin doubted he would pitch again this season. The Phillies weren’t counting on it.
“I see him as sort of a Swiss Army knife,” interim manager Rob Thomson said, echoing a description used by catcher J.T. Realmuto. “He can open for somebody; he can give you a little bit of length in the middle of the game; and he’s not afraid, so if one or two of our late-inning guys are down, I’d have no problem using him.
Thomson also plans to ease Eflin into a reliever role that is unfamiliar to him after seven years as a major league starter. At the outset, that means ample time to warm up and probably coming into innings in which there aren’t runners on base. It will be more challenging to find controlled situations for Eflin in the playoffs. Eventually, he will likely be pressed into higher-stress spots.Aaron Nola has seen it all with the Phillies — except the playoffs. And he wants in on the fun.
