The Phillies are desperate for any help, so he will be available if needed.<\/p>\n<p>However, Philadelphia is going to need a lot more help than from its pitching staff moving forward. NL MVP hopeful Kyle Schwarber has gone silent in a hitless streak that&#8217;s gone on since the end of the regular season. Meanwhile, Trea Turner (.143 BA) and Bryce Harper (.143 BA) have struggled to get any momentum going so far, either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE MLB NEWS:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Phillies make surprising pitching plan for Game 3 of NLDS originally appeared on The Sporting News .
