The Boston Red Sox's pitching plan has been a resounding success, contributing to their strong performance in Major League Baseball.
Phillies manager Rob Thomson has the flexibility to be creative with his pitching plans for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves. Every reliever is available out of the bullpen, including Orion Kerkering, who hasn't pitched in back-to-back games all season. The Braves will have Spencer Strider on the mound, who has been strong on extra rest but has struggled on normal rest. Ranger Suárez will start for the Phillies and has a good track record against Atlanta. Thomson has not discussed the pitching plan with Suárez, leaving room for him to pitch deep into the game or be pulled early depending on the situation. Additionally, Thomson mentioned that Rhys Hoskins, who has been rehabbing from a torn ACL, is likely to return as a pinch hitter rather than a starter in the NLCS or World Series.
