Starting Lineups, Pitchers for Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Game Wednesday
The Los Angeles Dodgers (18-13) and Philadelphia Phillies (15-16) will wrap up a three-game series Wednesday afternoon at 4:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
Top pitching prospect Gavin Stone was called-up to the Dodgers' Major League roster Wednesday afternoon and will make his MLB debut against the Phillies.
Stone is the no. 48 prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. MLB Pipeline also has Stone ranked as the fourth-best prospect in a loaded Dodgers farm system, and the organization's second-best pitching prospect.
Stone will receive the start for the Dodgers Wednesday, with Phillies star Aaron Nola (2-2, 4.46 ERA) taking mound for the opposing team.
The Dodgers selected Stone out of the University of Central Arkansas in the fifth round of the 2020 MLB Draft. Stone has impressed throughout his two and a half years in the Dodgers' farm system, but in 2023, he has posted the highest ERA of his professional career in Triple-A. Stone saw time in High-A, Double-A and Triple-A in 2022, logging a 1.48 ERA and 9-6 record over 25 starts across all three levels.
This season, however, Stone is off to a slower start. The right-hander has a 2-2 record to go with a 4.74 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over six starts and 24.2 innings pitched.
2021 National League MVP Bryce Harper returned to the Phillies' lineup Tuesday night, months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. In his first game of the 2023 season, Harper went 0-for-4, striking out three times and leaving one runner on base. The Phillies star hopes to make his presence felt Wednesday afternoon.
