Dispatched to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Mostly handling low-leverage work Lazar allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Angels.

Impact Lazar has been called upon almost strictly in low-leverage situations for most of the season -- he has zero holds and one save -- but he's been a viable bullpen arm for the Phillies. Across 21.2 innings, the 26-year-old right-hander owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB. Philadelphia agreed to sign veteran right-hander David Robertson on Sunday, which could mean Lazar will soon be even more hard-pressed to find high-leverage work.

Continues work as multi-inning arm Lazar allowed one run on three hits and no walks in two relief innings Wednesday against the Cubs. He struck out one.

Impact Lazar continues to operate as a multi-inning middle reliever for the Phillies, as he's worked beyond one frame in four of his six outings. The 26-year-old right-hander should remain a bullpen piece while Aaron Nola (ankle) is sidelined, but Lazar has an uninspiring 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB with zero holds over 10 innings.

Nabs save in extra innings Lazar walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 9-6 extra-innings win over the Athletics.

Impact Lazar was tagged for two runs over two innings in his season debut Tuesday, but he stayed on the big-league roster after that poor showing. With this game going to the 11th inning, Lazar was likely the last pitcher available, as both closer Jordan Romano and setup man Matt Strahm had pitched Thursday and Friday. Lazar got the job done for his first big-league save, but the vast majority of his future appearances are likely to be in low-leverage spots.

Gets big-league call-up The Phillies recalled Lazar from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Lazar will join the big club for the first time all season and will take the 26-man active roster spot of right-hander Mick Abel, who was optioned to Triple-A after making a spot start for the Phillies in Sunday's win over the Pirates. Though the back end of the Philadelphia bullpen lost a notable piece after lefty Jose Alvarado was handed an 80-game suspension Sunday, Lazar is unlikely to factor into the mix for saves. He'll presumably work in middle relief initially after he turned in a 3.12 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB in 17.1 innings with Lehigh Valley to earn the call to Philadelphia.

Misses Opening Day roster The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Lazar was in the running for a spot in Philadelphia's Opening Day bullpen after registering a 4.61 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 13.2 innings with the big club last season. However, he will ultimately miss the cut after surrendering seven runs over 3.2 innings this spring. The 25-year-old could still return to Philadelphia sometime this season if/when the Phillies' bullpen depth is tested.

Optioned to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Since coming up from Triple-A in late August, Lazar has surrendered seven earned runs over just eight innings. His poor performance will cause him to be sent back to the minors while Kolby Allard rejoins the big-league squad to start Saturday's game.

Rejoins big club The Phillies recalled Lazar from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Impact Philadelphia optioned Lazar to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the big club two days later since outfielder Weston Wilson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in the a corresponding move. Lazar will likely serve as a low-leverage reliever while he's up with the Phillies.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Lazar's first MLB stint came to an end Saturday, and he'll head back to Lehigh Valley having not allowed a run in 5.2 innings for the Phillies. His spot on the 26-man roster will go to Kolby Allard, who's being called up to make a spot start Sunday.
