Now we know why Phillies manager Rob Thomson hasn’t announced his rotation beyond Opening Day starter Zack Wheeler.

Ranger Suárez has a sore back again. We will know more in the next 24 to 48 hours, but there’s a chance he might not be ready to start the season. If Suárez can’t make his first turn (or more) in the rotation, who’s next in line? Yep, it’s Taijuan Walker. We talk about Suárez’s health, Walker’s ability to step up and more, including José Alvarado’s curveball and a Phillies-themed run through the NCAA basketball tournament bracket.
