Takes no-hit bid into sixth inning Painter (2-8) earned the win against the Cardinals on Monday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact Painter was authoring the finest start of his young career before starting to show signs of fatigue, carrying a no-hit bid into the sixth inning. It was still an encouraging performance despite St. Louis' two-run sixth frame, as the right-hander has now yielded two runs or fewer in three straight starts since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Painter will be looking to build on Monday's showing over the weekend in Minnesota, where he'll bring a 6.27 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 69:31 K:BB over 80.1 innings for the Phillies.

Ready to start Monday Painter (hamstring) is listed as the Phillies' probable starter for Monday's game in St. Louis.

Impact Painter was forced out of his most recent start in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals after four innings due to left hamstring tightness, but his early exit was deemed precautionary. The young right-hander cleared up any concern about his health by completing a bullpen session Saturday without issue. He's not expected to face any restrictions Monday as he takes the hill for the first of what will likely be two starts during the upcoming week. The second half of the double dip is expected to come Sunday, when he'll tentatively line up to start the Phillies' series finale in Minnesota.

On track to make next start An MRI on Painter's left hamstring came back negative, and he is expected to make his next start Monday in St. Louis, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Painter had to be lifted from Wednesday's start versus the Nationals after four innings when his left hamstring tightened up on him. His removal was seen as a precaution, however, and the rookie hurler won't miss a turn as long as he gets through his normal between-starts bullpen session without any hiccups.

Not concerned about hamstring Painter said following Wednesday's 10-4 loss to to the Nationals in 11 innings that he's not worried about missing time due to the left hamstring injury that forced him out of the...

Impact Making a second straight turn through the Philadelphia rotation, Painter struck out four batters and limited the Nationals to one earned run on three hits and one walk in four innings prior to his departure. Painter appeared to first tweak the hamstring in the first inning when he slipped while delivering a 3-2 pitch to Daylen Lile, but the right-hander said the hamstring didn't tighten up on him until the fourth. The Phillies have no plans to send Painter in for imaging, and so long as he's able to complete a bullpen session over the weekend without issue, he'll tentatively line up to make his next start Monday in St. Louis.

Pulled with hamstring tightness Painter was removed from Wednesday's game against the Nationals with left hamstring tightness, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Painter had gotten through four innings of one-run ball on 63 pitches before his hamstring forced him out of the game prematurely. The Phillies will take a closer look at him and could provide an update regarding the severity of the injury after the game.

Handed another start Painter will start Wednesday's game against the Nationals in Philadelphia.

Impact The Phillies addressed their lineup and bullpen with the additions of second baseman Luis Arraez and right-hander Caleb Kilian at the trade deadline, but they stood pat with their rotation. As a result, Painter will end up sticking around for another turn as the Phillies' fifth starter, after he had a successful showing last weekend following his call-up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. For just the third time in 15 big-league outings, Painter hit six innings in Friday's loss to the Orioles, giving up two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out six.

Quality start in return to majors Painter didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.

Impact Pete Alonso lofted a two-run homer off the 23-year-old right-hander in the first inning, but Painter didn't lose focus and left the mound after 82 pitches (54 strikes) with his third career quality start in hand and Philly holding a 4-2 lead. Orion Kerkering and an overworked bullpen cost him his second win, however. Painter, who was just recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier in the day Friday, seems likely to stick in the rotation barring a big move at the trade deadline, despite his 6.72 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 59:27 K:BB through 71 big-league innings this season. He's scheduled to make his next start at home next week against the Nationals.

In 65 innings, the right-hander has struggled, owning a 7.06 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB this season.

Will pitch Friday for Phillies The Phillies will recall Painter from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to pitch Friday in Baltimore, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear whether it will be a traditional start or another arrangement, but the 23-year-old will get another chance in the majors. Painter was sent down to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in mid-June after logging a 7.06 ERA in 65 innings for the Phillies. He's pitched well in four of five outings at Lehigh Valley, though, allowing three runs with a 14:1 K:BB across 11 frames in his last two starts.
