McKinley Moore, Mick Abel, and David Parkinson also were promoted from double-A Reading.
ST. LOUIS — The Phillies promoted relievers Orion Kerkering and McKinley Moore and starters Mick Abel and David Parkinson to triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday afternoon, according to a source. The move will allow each pitcher to extend his season by a week, since the double-A season ended on Sunday and Lehigh Valley’s season ends on Sept. 24.
He has pitched to a 1.54 ERA through those first three levels, with 78 strikeouts and 12 walks. The idea behind promoting Kerkering to Lehigh Valley is twofold. The Phillies would like him to get used to the big league ball, which is used in triple A, and is harder and has tighter seams. They would also like him to see higher-quality hitters.
