Painter averaged a crisp 96.6 mph on his four-seam fastball, and threw 35 of 49 pitches for strikes in a near-flawless second rehab outing in the lower minors, allowing three baserunners over three frames. The 22-year-old is widely regarded as the top pitching prospect in baseball and remains on track to arrive in Philadelphia sometime around midseason.

It’s unusual to see Marsh sitting against an opposing right-hander, but perhaps it’s just the Phillies’ way of easing him back into full-time action following his return from the injured list. Johan Rojas will start in his place in center field and bat ninth against Luis L. Ortiz on Sunday evening.

The final score suggests that Suárez had some cushion tonight, but it was just a 1-0 game through seven. The Phillies then scored six runs off Jakob Junis and Joey Cantillo in the eighth before the Guardians finally got a run in the bottom of the ninth. Suárez allowed just four hard-hit balls, three of which checked in at 96-97 mph, and walked only one. He had a rough season debut Sunday against the D-backs, but he figures to be a pretty solid mixed-league option going forward. He’ll face the Pirates next.

It’s the first three-hit game of the year for Harper, who entered the night in an 11-for-63 slump. His 110.6-mph homer was the hardest-hit ball of the game, and his 107.5-mph lineout in the sixth was second on the list.

Ward atoned for his defensive miscue in the top half of the first inning by smacking a run-scoring double off of Zach Eflin that tied the game at 1-1. He then came around to score on an RBI single off the bat of Logan O’Hoppe. Even with the two-hit attack though, Ward is slashing a miserable .182/.226/.385 on the season to go with eight homers and 17 RBI.

The 35-year-old right-hander threw nine pitches in the outing, all of them strikes, while allowing a pair of hits and striking out a batter. That was his third appearances on his minor league rehab assignment. There has been no clear timeline on how many outings he’ll require before he’s ready to join the Orioles’ bullpen, but it sounds like he’s getting close.

Happ played catch and was able to take swings prior to sitting out Sunday’s game against the Mets, so it appears there’s a chance he’ll be ready for Monday’s series opener against the Marlins. Emerging fantasy star Pete Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-4 with solo homer on Sunday in his second straight appearance in the leadoff spot with Happ out of the lineup.
