Suárez shines as Phillies overcome Harper's loss after HBP and beat Braves 2-0

Ranger Suárez struck out eight over six shutout innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies survived an injury scare to slugger Bryce Harper to beat the Atlanta Braves 2-0
MAY 28 • Associated Press
Continues to get back on track Kerkering (4-1) was credited with the win in Saturday's 9-6 extra-innings win over the Athletics, allowing one hit and two walks with no strikeouts during a scoreless 10th inning.
Impact Both of Kerkering's walks were intentional, and he's now worked seven consecutive scoreless outings. Furthermore, the 24-year-old right-hander has improved his ERA from 6.48 on April 22 to 3.72 on the season by giving up just two runs over his last 11 frames. Jordan Romano is positioned as Philadelphia's current closer, but Kerkerking remains in the high-leverage mix as a setup man with eight holds in 2025.

Blows save, earns win Kerkering (3-1) allowed four runs (one earned) on three hits over one inning against the Phillies on Tuesday. He struck out two and earned a win after being charged with a blown sa...
Impact Kerkering gave up an RBI double to James Wood and a three-run shot to Nathaniel Lowe after entering with a 5-2 lead. Fortunately for Kerkering, an error in the frame kept three of those runs from affecting his ERA. He gave up one run through his first seven innings of the season but has since allowed nine runs (six earned) over his last 4.1 frames, spiking his ERA to 5.56. Jose Alvarado allowed two hits and struck out three in a scoreless eighth inning.

Tallies third hold Saturday Kerkering logged a hold Saturday against St. Louis after recording two outs in the seventh inning. He struck out one.
Impact With the potential tying run at the plate, Kerkering was called upon to safeguard a 4-1 lead in the seventh inning and retired Nolan Gorman and Lars Nootbaar to close the frame. Jose Alvarado has taken over as Philadelphia's favorite for saves for the time being amid Jordan Romano's early-season struggles, but Kerkering remains an option for high-leverage work as well. Although he's blown his lone save opportunity while logging a shaky 1.50 WHIP and 4:3 K:BB, the right-hander has posted three holds and managed to allow just one run through 5.1 innings thus far.

Throws clean inning Thursday Kerkering threw a clean inning in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, striking out two while picking up a hold.
Impact Kerkering now holds a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP while fanning three over three innings during spring training so far. The 23-year-old right-hander showed plenty of promise out of Philadelphia's bullpen in his first full season in the major leagues, featuring a 2.29 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 74:14 K:BB across 63 frames a year ago. Kerkering is slated to start 2025 in a setup role behind presumed closer Jordan Romano, but it's not out of the question that the former sees some ninth-inning work at some point later in the season after the latter struggled in 2024 before undergoing elbow surgery.

Opening Saturday Kerkering will serve as the Philles' opener Saturday against the Mariners, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kerkering has opened a game once already this season, during which he posted a scoreless inning against the A's. He'll now be asked to do the same versus Seattle, giving bulk reliever Kolby Allard one less matchup against the Mariners' top three hitters.
AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Working as opening pitcher Sunday Kerkering will serve as the Phillies' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Athletics, Tim Kelly of PhilliesNation.com reports.
Impact Kerkering will be making the first start of his professional career, but the Phillies are unlikely to ask him to cover more than the opening frame or two, given that the hard-throwing reliever hasn't recorded more than five outs in any appearance this season. Though he's given up a hit in all but two of his last nine relief outings, Kerkering struck out 10 batters and hasn't allowed a run during that stretch, bringing his ERA down to a shiny 1.30. Michael Mercado is expected to operate as a bulk reliever for the Phillies once Kerkering exits Sunday's contest.

Orion Kerkering is back with the Phillies, and expectations are high: 'How good can he be?' The Phillies think Kerkering can be great. They have challenged him to think about what greatness as a big-league reliever is.

Will be activated Sunday Kerkering (forearm) will be activated from the injured list before Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kerkering got a late start to the season due to illness and a right forearm strain, but he looked sharp on his rehab assignment with a 10:0 K:BB over 4.1 shutout innings. The 23-year-old might be eased into high-leverage situations, but it shouldn't be long before he's one of the Phillies' most trusted relievers.

Still rebuilding strength after flu Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Monday that Kerkering is still rebuilding his strength after a bout with the flu and might not be ready for Opening Day, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com r...
Impact Kerkering hasn't made a Grapefruit League appearance since March 1 and is still working on regaining his stamina. While the illness is not a long-term concern, it has limited him to just two outings this spring and the Phillies don't want to rush the young reliever back. If Kerkering does have to wind up missing some time, he shouldn't be out long.
