Phillies call up Nick Pivetta to start on Monday

The Philadelphia Phillies have recalled starting pitcher Nick Pivetta from Triple-A and will start him on Monday.

What It Means:

Pivetta had struggled earlier this season, making four starts with the Phillies, going 0-2 with a 5.18 ERA. He gets another shot at the rotation with Vince Velasquez sidelined for a few weeks. Pivetta faces the hot-hitting Atlanta Braves who have scored 21 runs while batting .311 in their last three games.

numberFire's algorithms project Pivetta to go 5 2/3 innings while striking out 3.7 batters for 22.6 FanDuel points at a $6,100 price tag on Monday.
