The twin right-handers are tentatively scheduled to make their debuts in Reading on Saturday and Sunday.
The Phillies will promote their top pitching prospects to double-A Reading this week, a source said Sunday, confirming a report by The Athletic. Abel and Painter are tentatively scheduled to make their next starts Saturday and Sunday, respectively, at home against Portland.
“The thing that these two have done is dominate the level,” Phillies minor league pitching coordinator Travis Hergert said by phone last week. “That’s the goal. Leave nothing behind and continue to dominate the level, and then, when we feel that they’re ready, as an organization, to take the next step, then they’ll do so.”
Abel struggled in his last outing, allowing six runs in 1 1/3 innings. Prior to that, he had back-to-back starts of six scoreless innings. He had a 4.01 ERA in 18 starts for Jersey Shore, but allowed two earned runs or less in 12 of those starts.of a doubleheader. Abel gave up three hits and struck out eight in six scoreless innings; Painter followed by allowing two hits and striking out 11 in seven shutout frames.
“That’s been our main goal this year, to develop the offspeed and have the understanding that I can use my fastball the majority of the time but I still need to develop those secondary offerings,” Abel said. “I’ve been very confident with them the last few outings. It’s been really great for me to use all the pitches and know that I’m going to need them later on in my career. Last year I didn’t do as good a job at that as I could’ve.
