The Phillies have called up Alex McFarlane from Double-A.
Fantasy Impact
McFarlane had posted a 1.42 ERA over seven appearances to begin the season in Double-A. He takes the roster spot of Taijuan Walker.
Alex McFarlane (elbow) is slated for Philadelphia’s March 14 Spring Breakout game against Pittsburgh prospects, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
McFarlane, 23, was sidelined all of 2024 after Tommy John surgery in September 2023—prior to that, he posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.71 WHIP, and 68:38 K:BB across 49.1 innings in 16 starts at Single-A Clearwater in 2023. His Spring Breakout spot hints at a full recovery for 2025. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues might eye this righty as a deep stash; his arm’s unproven for redraft yet.
