Daily News | Rob Thomson hopes Dylan Covey addition boosts bullpen
’ bullpen — even in the absence of José Alvarado — has been a bright spot this season. That is especially true of late. Over their last seven games, they’re striking out hitters at a rate of 26.2%, which ranks ninth among all bullpens in baseball. Over that span they have a 2.45 ERA.
“You’ve got to be careful,” he said of his bullpen usage. “You’ve got to make sure you’re not going to overwork somebody where you’re going to have to give them three days off. You can do that with one guy, but if you have to do that with two or three guys, you’re putting yourself in a bad spot. It can be difficult.”
Covey could be used in a variety of roles. He has experience starting and relieving over his five big league seasons . But what makes the most sense, given the Phillies’ needs right now, is for Covey to pitch the bulk of the innings every five days. Thomson said as much on Monday afternoon.
