Rangel (0-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Reds, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out five.
Rangel was inefficient Wednesday, as he tossed 69 pitches but couldn't make it through the fourth inning. The 28-year-old right-hander has completed five frames just one time through five appearances to this point, and it remains to be seen if the Phillies will give Andrew Painter another chance in their rotation at some point later this season. Through 19.1 innings, Rangel has a 4.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB, with the big club likely to evaluate his role during the upcoming All-Star break.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Called up, starting Wednesday
Rotowire
The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday at Cincinnati in what's expected to be a bullpen game, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.
Philadelphia optioned Rangel to Triple-A following his most recent start last Thursday against the Pirates, but he'll be back with the big club to fill the open spot in the rotation six days later after the Phillies placed Lou Trivino (back) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though the club is labeling Wednesday's contest as a bullpen day, Rangel should still be capable of providing the club with at least four or five innings since he'll be pitching on normal rest. Over his prior four appearances (one start) with the Phillies, Rangel turned in a 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 16 innings.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
Rangel was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Pirates, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
Rangel did not factor into the decision Thursday after he pitched four scoreless innings, surrendering three hits and four walks while striking out four batters during his start. He will now head back to Triple-A after combining to allow five runs while striking out 12 batters over 13 frames in three outings following his call-up June 22. Rangel's spot in the rotation is set to appear one more time before the All-Star break, and it remains to be seen if the Phillies go with a bullpen game or call up a spot starter for that game.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Delivers four scoreless frames
Rotowire
Rangel did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Pirates, allowing three hits and four walks over four scoreless innings. He struck out four.
Rangel had trouble with his command Thursday, throwing only 54 of his 90 pitches for strikes, though he was able to tiptoe his way through danger to hold the Pirates off the board. The outing was the first traditional start of the season for Rangel, whose previous three appearances came in bulk relief. Overall, the right-hander sports a 3.38 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB across 16 innings this season. Should he remain in the rotation, Rangel would line up for a road matchup with the Reds in his next outing.

Rangel (0-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

Through three outings with the Phillies this season, the 28-year-old owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB across 12 innings. He gave up just one run in each of his first two appearances. Should he remain in the club's rotation plans, he'd line up for a home matchup against the Pirates next week.

Rotowire
Rangel will serve as a bulk reliever in Saturday's game against the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Drawing start Saturday
Rotowire
Rangel is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.
Rangel is set to receive another turn through the Philadelphia rotation, this time as a traditional starter after previously pitching in bulk relief Monday after being recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 28-year-old righty excelled while working behind opener Tim Mayza in a 4-1 loss to the Nationals, striking out four over five innings while yielding one earned run on five hits and no walks. Over two extended relief appearances with the big club this season, Rangel owns a 9:0 K:BB in eight innings, but his numbers over a much larger sample at Triple-A have been less impressive (3.99 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 15.6 K-BB% in 70 innings).

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Impresses in bulk relief
Rotowire
Rangel did not factor into the decision Monday against the Nationals, allowing one run on five hits while striking out four over five innings.
After opener Tim Mayza allowed a run in the first, Rangel kept Washington's offense in check and provided valuable length for a Philadelphia pitching staff that has been searching for rotation stability. It was just the seventh major-league appearance of Rangel's career after being recalled earlier Monday. He also impressed in his only previous outing for the Phillies this season, striking out five batters across three innings of one-run relief. Given Philadelphia's need for starting depth, Rangel could earn another opportunity as a member of the rotation. He has posted a respectable 3.99 ERA and 73:27 K:BB across 70 innings with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Slated for bulk relief Monday
Rotowire
The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
Rangel is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tim Mayza during Monday's road game against the Nationals, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The 28-year-old fanned five over three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen in an appearance for the Phillies earlier this season, and he holds a 3.99 ERA and 73:27 K:BB across 70 frames with Lehigh Valley. With Andrew Painter back in the minors, Rangel could get a chance to stick around in Philadelphia as the fifth member of the rotation.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Sent to Triple-A

The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Rangel was never a likely bet to break camp with the big club, and his struggles during spring training (eight earned runs allowed with a 4:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings) solidified his fate. Rangel should begin the season as a rotation piece for Lehigh Valley, where he had a 4.65 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 24 starts last year.

Phillies' Alan Rangel: Collects multi-inning save
Rotowire
Rangel recorded his first career save in Friday's 13-0 rout of Atlanta, allowing six hits and a walk over five scoreless innings of relief. He struck out four.
Mick Abel was the scheduled starter for the Phillies, but a rain delay was called prior to the first pitch after the right-hander had already warmed up. When play resumed, the team elected to go with a bullpen game, and Rangel did most of the heavy lifting after Philadelphia raced out to an 11-0 lead in the third inning, tossing 71 pitches (49 strikes). Expect the 27-year-old to get sent back down to the rotation at Triple-A Lehigh Valley and be replaced with a fresh bullpen arm in short order.

The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Right-hander Michael Mercado was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Rangel. The 27-year-old right-hander previously made his MLB debut in a three-inning relief appearance June 7 and will likely serve as a lower-leverage arm during his latest stint with the Phillies.

Rangel made two appearances for the Phillies in spring training and allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two across three innings.
