McNeil is using the AFL, an offseason league owned by MLB featuring many top prospects, to rehab a wrist injury in hopes of joining the Mets&#8217; NLCS roster.<\/p>\n<p>Painter was taken deep to begin his second inning by left-handed-hitting Tigers catcher\/first baseman Josue Brice\u00f1o. He walked the next batter on four pitches and gave up a single, erased them on a double-play ball and allowed a two-out double before striking out the final batter he faced.<\/p>\n<p>More important than any result, he came out of it healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Painter injured his right elbow in March 2023 when he was competing for a spot on the Phillies&#8217; big-league roster. Just 19 years old at the time and less than two years removed from high school, he appeared to have the inside track to their No. 5 starter&#8217;s job until the injury.<\/p>\n<p>Painter and the Phillies at first tried a conservative rehab process to avoid Tommy John surgery but he ultimately underwent an elbow reconstruction on July 25, 2023. The Phillies&#8217; plan all along was to take things slow bringing him back with their eyes on 2025.<\/p>\n<p>If healthy, Painter should again enter spring training as a candidate for a rotation spot, though the Phils could also move deliberately with him to build up his pitch counts and stamina. He made only five starts at Double A and none at Triple A, after all. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;ll be a decision in 4<strong>\u00bd<\/strong> months. For now, the Phillies are pleased to see such an important piece of their future back on a mound.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com\/mlb\/philadelphia-phillies\/phillies-news\/andrew-painter-arizona-fall-league-phillies-prospect\/622928\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phillies top pitching prospect Andrew Painter made his long-awaited return to game action on Saturday afternoon, throwing 29 pitches in a two-inning start in the Arizona Fall League.
