Worley, 23, was coming off of two difficult starts in which he allowed eighteen hits and eight runs in eight innings pitched. He pitched very well in his first two starters when he was called up, but these two starts didn't go so well. Worley then spent sometime in the bullpen, the Phillies believe going from starter to reliever back to starter might be the reasons for his struggles of late. Worley will go back to Triple-A where he will be stretched out just in case another starter goes down.
He took the news in stride saying that he wasn't right physically. He hasn't been stretched out in awhile, so logging some innings in the minors will be good for him. He will be able to get his arm back to where it should be for a starter.
The Phillies will have an off day on Thursday allowing them to skip the fifth starters spot for a week. So with that said they are expected to call up a reliever for now and use Kyle Kendrick to start if they need him. The Phillies will announce who they will call up sometime tomorrow.
