Complete Chachi Checklist
2021 Chachi #61

David Paulino was on the Phillies active roster for two games, and was designated for assingment on August 14th after pitching two innings for the club the night before.  Assuming he clears waivers and accepts a return to the IronPigs, we could see him again at some point this season if the Phillies need an additional bullpen arm.

Game 116 - 2021 Choice Lehigh Valley IronPigs #23 David Paulino

Reds 6
, Phillies 1
Game 116 - Friday Night, August 13th in Philadelphia
Record - 60-56, Tied for 1st Place, 1/2 game ahead of the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  Zack Wheeler didn't have his best stuff and the Phillies offense was baffled by Reds starter Tyler Mahle in this 6-1 loss.

What It Means:  It's going to be a stressful September unless the Phillies go on another long winning streak.

What Happened:  Wheeler admittedly didn't have it, allowing two big home runs to Joey Votto in the fourth, a three-run shot, and Nick Castellanos in the sixth.  Eugenio Suarez added a two-run home run in the ninth off Phillies' reliever David Paulino to put the game out of reach.  The Phillies had only five hits, including an RBI double from Didi Gregorius in the ninth.

Featured Card:  Paulino got roughed up in his return to the majors, allowing the Suarez home run and giving up three hits overall.  It was the pitcher's first appearance in a big league game since September 29, 2018 when he was pitching for the Blue Jays.  His Phillies tenure may be limited to just this one appearance as Paulino was designated for assignment on Sunday.

Second Quartet of Non-Roster Invitees Announced

2015 Topps #382
 
2015 Topps #412
 
2017 Topps Chrome Rookie
Autographs #RA-DP
2015 Topps #224
 

Unbelievably, we're less than two weeks away from the start of spring training and the Phillies are picking up the pace in terms of their off-season additions.

Pitcher Ivan Nova was signed to a minor league contract on the same day as the J.T. Realmuto signing was announced, so his addition to the list of non-roster pitchers may have flown under the radar.  An 11-year veteran, Nova is best known for his years with the Yankees (2010-2016) and he appeared in 4 games last season with the Tigers.  He's been a starter most of his career and actually led the American League in games started in 2019 with 34.  He'll either find himself as the team's fifth or sixth starter or provide Triple-A depth in Lehigh Valley.

The next three pitchers showed up on the team's transaction page over the past few weeks, but their signings were made official on Tuesday.  Bryan Mitchell last pitched in the majors in 2018 with the Padres, and he's also a former Yankee, having appeared in 48 games with the club between 2014 and 2017.  David Paulino has pitched in 16 major league games with the Astros and Blue Jays between 2016 and 2018.  And finally, Hector Rondon got an invite and the hope is that he's in the mix for one of the open bullpen spots.  Rondon has 92 career saves to his name and won a World Series ring with the Cubs in 2016.  He appeared in 23 games last season for the Diamondbacks.
