Phillies Starters vs Los Angeles Angels
Tonight, the Phillies will send Cristopher Sanchez to the mound, with Spencer Turnbull getting the start on Tuesday followed by Zack Wheeler.
According to Corey Seidman from NBC Sports Philly – the Phillies will then return to a 5-man rotation moving forward. The Phillies will play 19 games in 20 days after that second Thursday off, so even if Turnbull is shifted to the bullpen after Tuesday, he could potentially start a couple of times from May 10-29.

- Wednesday at Angels: Zack Wheeler
- Thursday: Off
- Friday vs. Giants: Aaron Nola
