Eflin has a 4-7 record with a 4.17 ERA in 18 starts and 105 2/3 innings this season. In 11 starts since May 13, the righty has allowed 11 of his 15 home runs and is carrying a 4.77 ERA over a course of 60 1/3 innings.
Phillies manager Joe Girardi told reporters Tuesday the team will go with a bullpen game on Wednesday, and left-handed pitcher Matt Moore will start on Thursday.
Girardi: Phillies will go with a bullpen game tomorrow. Matt Moore starts Thursday vs. Braves. No huge concern about Elflin's knee as of now, but they'll see how he progresses. Possible they do another bullpen game next turn too.
