Painter Headed to Triple-A

The Phillies are sending top prospect Andrew Painter down to Triple-A after a rough start to his big league career, but this move isn’t about giving up—it’s about giving him the time he needs to rebuild. The 23-year-old, once their 1 prospect and Opening Day starter, is struggling with a 7+ ERA and hasn’t won a game in over two months. He’s also coming off two full seasons lost to Tommy John surgery and has only pitched around 50 minor league games since being drafted. The team believes he’s still got the potential to be a cornerstone of their future rotation, and now he’s headed to Lehigh Valley to work on his game and get back on track.
