The right-hander, who has a 3.99 ERA in 70 innings with the IronPigs, was scheduled to appear behind lefty opener Tim Mayza on Monday, which started in a rain delay. And according to interim manager Don Mattingly, the plan is for Rangel, 28, to stick around with the big league club for now.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>\u201cI mean, at this point I think we\u2019ve kind of made a commitment to that spot,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying we\u2019re making a commitment to a full start every time. It could be openers, it could be starting. Sometimes the team lineup construction depends.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>This marks Rangel\u2019s second stint with the big league club this season. He appeared in one game in April, allowing one earned run and striking out five over three innings against the Cubs. In six career major league games, Rangel has a 2.57 ERA. <\/p><div><\/div><p>The fifth rotation spot had been vacated by Andrew Painter, who was optioned last week to reset and work on his fastball after struggling to a 7.06 ERA. Painter is scheduled to throw multiple bullpen sessions before seeing game action in triple A. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>The Phillies used Mayza as an opener on Monday because of the Nationals\u2019 left-handed heavy lineup. Washington had six lefties and switch-hitters penciled into their lineup for the series opener. But facing a team with more righties, Mattingly said he would feel comfortable using Rangel as a traditional starter. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cI\u2019ve seen him only pitch a little bit in spring training, but I think the fact that Rangel has kind of been the guy throwing the best, they felt like, down there, and he was going to be the best guy, long-term, for us,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201c \u2026 We\u2019ll see what he can do. He\u2019s throwing the ball well. Last time he came up, felt like he threw the ball well. So we\u2019ll see what it looks like.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><h3>Backhus reactivated<\/h3><\/div><div><\/div><p>The Phillies had the flexibility to use Mayza in an opening role because Kyle Backhus (left elbow inflammation) was activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday, giving the Phillies three lefties in the bullpen, also including Jos\u00e9 Alvarado. <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1393\">The next big question for the USMNT: Managing yellow cards in the World Cup group stage finale<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>Backhus, a sidearmer, had a 4.66 ERA before landing on the injured list on April 30. However, that number is skewed by his first appearance of the season on March 26, when he gave up three earned runs in \u2153 of an inning.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>After that, Backhus had been pitching his way into a higher-leverage role, and had allowed one earned run across his last five appearances before the injury. <\/p><div><\/div><p>\u201cHe was throwing the ball really well, and it felt like he was getting his outs and looking really good,\u201d Mattingly said. \u201cAs you get a guy back, you just kind of get comfortable first, we wouldn\u2019t like stick him in the eighth or anything like that. But we do think he is a guy that matches up well with the lefties. He\u2019s a different look for us. I like him, he\u2019s really athletic, he handles the position well, so has a lot of good things other than just pitching.\u201d<\/p><div><\/div><div><h3>Extra bases<\/h3><\/div><div><\/div><p>MLB released its second update for its All-Star fan voting on Sunday, and Brandon Marsh has accumulated 1,256,874 votes and ranks second among National League outfielders, only behind the Dodgers\u2019 Andy Pages (1,518,451). The top two position players and top three outfielders once voting closes on June 25 will advance to the second phase. Also in position to advance is Kyle Schwarber (1,540,202, second among designated hitters), Bryson Stott (801,006, second among second basemen), and Alec Bohm (804,309 votes, second among third basemen). \u2026 Jes\u00fas Luzardo (6-4, 4.20 ERA) is scheduled to start Tuesday opposite Nationals right-hander Zack Littell (6-6, 5.45). <\/p><div><\/div><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" class=\"wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/faba80d67140212ba32240655442c529.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n        Watch the latest episode\n      <\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Father&#8217;s Day will hit a little differently this year for Don and Preston Mattingly.
