Philadelphia Phillies top prospect Andrew Painter is progressing as planned at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but manager Rob Thomson said it's unlikely that the 22-year-old right-hander will make his MLB debut until the second half of the 2025 season. In his four starts with the Iron Pigs, Painter has a 2.65 ERA with 20 strikeouts in 17 innings, and his fastball is sitting around 97 mph while topping out at 100 mph. His recovery from Tommy John surgery has been great. The Phillies plan to use the All-Star break (July 14-17) to let Painter rest and recharge. It's possible that Painter makes his debut in late July, but the Phillies are keeping their options open and aren't committing to anything. He's thrown a total of 28 1/3 innings in the minors this year, and the plan all along was to delay his progression this spring so that he will have innings left to help the team down the stretch. Painter is the No. 2 pitching prospect in baseball, per MLB Pipeline.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
