Rain wiped out Game 3 of the World Series, so everything shifts back a day, including the off day between Game 5 and Game 6 if necessary. The rain also shifted the Phillies rotation, as now they’ll go with left-hander Ranger Suarez on Tuesday night in Game 3, followed by Aaron Nola in Game 4. In what could end up being an elimination game in Game 5, the Phillies will likely go with Noah Syndergaard, if he isn’t needed in relief before then.
The name missing from that list is Zack Wheeler, who won’t pitch until Game 6 at the earliest, as he needs some time to rest and recover. Wheeler only made three starts after coming back from injury prior to the playoffs and he did have decreased velocity in his Game 2 start. As for the Astros, they’ll go with their original plan, which means Lance McCullers Jr. tonight.
I’ve left in all my info on McCullers, but have updated the article with Suarez now on the bump for the Phillies.
