Newsbreakers
October 6, 2009
Antonio Bastardo will be a part of the Phillies' 25-man roster for the NLDS, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Right-handers Clay Condrey and Tyler Walker did not make the roster. Bastardo only pitched once since June 25 while dealing with a strained left shoulder, but the club decided they needed an extra lefty for the pen as Colorado sports a heavy left-handed lineup.
October 3, 2009
The Phillies have recalled Antonio Bastardo to the active roster, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki.
Our View:
He'll be an emergency long-relief option this weekend.
September 3, 2009
Antonio Bastardo has been activated from the 60-day disabled list and optioned to Double-A Reading.
Our View:
Bastardo, 2-3 with a 6.75 ERA in five major league starts this season, is not expected to rejoin the big club this year.
August 27, 2009
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Antonio Bastardo is expected to begin a rehab assignment for his ailing shoulder on Thursday.
Our View:
Bastardo is slated to pitch two innings in a Gulf Coast League game, but likely won't be able to return to the Phillies before the regular season end. He's been on the shelf with a left shoulder strain since before the All Star break.
July 1, 2009
Updating a previous report, Antonio Bastardo will be shut down from baseball related activities for a couple weeks before beginning his shoulder rehabilitation, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
Bastardo looks to be out until after the All Star break and may lose his spot in the rotation upon his return. He has been ineffective in his five starts with a 6.75 ERA and if one of the replacement candidates shine in their new role Bastardo could be out of a job.
June 30, 2009
Antonio Bastardo has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder strain, according to ESPN.
Our View:
Bastardo left his last start in the fourth inning after surrendering six earned runs. After winning his first two major league starts, Bastardo lost his next three, giving up 14 earned runs in the process. He probably isn't worth stashing on your DL while he's out, unless you are absolutely desperate for pitching. Just know that the Phillies won't rush him back because he is a big part of their future plans. The team has not yet announced who will take his spot in the rotation.
June 28, 2009
As expected, Antonio Bastardo will miss his next scheduled start, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
Bastrado has been troubled by a sore left shoulder and didn't even travel with the team, so it makes sense for him to stay put and try to get back to 100 percent. Cole Hamels will move up and pitch Wednesday and the team will likely go to the Triple-A well to grab a starter for Thursday.
June 26, 2009
Antonio Bastardo is unlikely to make his next start after leaving Thursday's game in the fourth inning with a shoulder strain, according to the Wilmington News Journal.
Our View:
Bastardo has struggled recently after a solid start to the season. Now with this injury, there is no reason to keep him on your roster unless you are in a keeper league.
June 25, 2009
Antonio Bastardo left his start on Tuesday in the fourth inning with a left shoulder strain, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
He had given up six earned runs at the time of his departure, and has been hit hard in his past two starts before tonight, as wel. He had two good starts to begin his MLB career, but isn't a good option right now, even without the injury.
June 19, 2009
Antonio Bastardo was rocked for four earned runs on five hits over seven innings in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Orioles at Citizens Bank Park. He had no walks and fired five strikeouts.
Our View:
The rookie has lost in back-to-back starts, and allowed four runs in both outings. His ERA climbs to 5.21, and he will be an unstable fantasy option for his next start.
June 13, 2009
Antonio Bastardo was roughed up in Saturday's 11-6 loss to the Red Sox at Citizens Bank Park, as he gave up five runs (four earned) on three hits over a mere one inning of work. He had three walks and one strikeout.
Our View:
Bastardo held a 2-0 record with a 2.45 ERA over two starts prior to tonight's nightmarish outing, and he should be able to bounce back fine.
June 7, 2009
Antonio Bastardo won his second start of the season and improved to 2-0 as the Phillies buried the Dodgers 7-2 on Sunday night. He allowed two runs over five innings by scattering seven hits and a walk. He struck out for in the game.
Our View:
Thats two starts, two wins and two solid outings for Bastardo this season. He's worth a look in deeper leagues, especially if you need wins. The Phillies seem to have no problem dishing out the run support for him.
June 3, 2009
Antonio Bastardo dazzled in his first career start, as he only allowed one earned run on four hits over six innings in Tuesday's 10-5 win at San Diego. He had one walk with five strikeouts.
Our View:
Bastardo held a strong 1.89 ERA in the minors prior to his promotion to Philadelphia, and is worth targeting as a flier in deeper leagues following tonight's performance.
June 2, 2009
Pitcher Antonio Bastardo will make his first major league start tonight for the Phillies according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He will be facing Padres right-hander Jake Peavy.
Our View:
Bastardo has been pitching very well in the minors, going a combined 3-2 with a 1.89 ERA between Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, and could really give the Phillies depleted rotation a lift if he performs well tonight. If he does, he could be worth a spot start his next time out, or perhaps even a roster spot in deeper leagues.
May 29, 2009
Antonio Bastardo picked up his first win for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, tossing six scoreless innings. He allowed six hits, one walk and fanned one.
Our View:
Bastardo has continued to pitch outstanding following his promotion from Double-A. He now has a 1.89 ERA in 47.2 innings between Double-A and Triple-A and is one of several promising Phillies pitching prospects that could contribute this season.
