Tim Mayza - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Gives up three runs, takes loss as opener Mayza (3-4) was tagged with the loss against the Mets on Friday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk in one-third of an inning.

Impact Mayza was given the nod to serve as Friday's opener after having success in his last start against Atlanta this past Saturday, when he struck out four batters across three scoreless innings. He couldn't carry that form against the Mets, with the veteran southpaw allowing four of the first batters he faced on base while running his pitch count up to 32 (19 strikes). He was tagged for two more runs after being pulled, and his outing inflated his stats to a 3.46 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 65 innings. Despite the poor outing, the Phillies may tap Mayza's shoulder to serve as an opener one more time before the end of the regular season in order to protect the rotation for the playoffs.

Serving as opener Friday Mayza will serve as an opener for the Phillies in Friday's game against the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Mayza will likely handle the first inning before Jose Urquidy takes over in bulk relief. The left-hander has been excellent this season when used as an opener, allowing just one run with a 10:1 K:BB over 9.1 frames.

Thrives as opener Mayza didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Atlanta, allowing two hits and no walks in three scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Impact Mayza filled in admirably for the injured Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) on Saturday, blanking Atlanta for three innings in a spot start as an opener. The southpaw has been scored upon just once in his last 14 outings, typically serving as a middle reliever for the Phillies throughout the campaign. Through 64.1 innings on the year, he has a 3.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 63:15 K:BB.

Opening Saturday's contest Mayza will serve as the Phillies' opening pitcher for Saturday's game in Atlanta, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Mayza will make his fifth start of the season, but he has yet to record more than six outs in any of his 54 appearances to date and will likely be limited to 1-to-2 innings. The Phillies don't have an obvious bulk reliever available behind Mayza, but Grant Holman hasn't been used since being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sept. 1 and could be called upon to pitch multiple innings once Mayza exits.

Impact The Phillies elected to go to a bullpen game in the nightcap of Thursday's twin bill, and none of the pitchers they deployed went more than 2.1 frames. Mayza worked as the opener for the first time in his career and did well, though there's very little to take away from his performance from a fantasy perspective. The veteran reliever while likely return to his low-leverage bullpen role moving forward.
