Öffentlich » ear, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin told philly

WASHINGTON -- Philadelphia pitcher Alec Asher, 24, had a 9. Aroldis Chapman Jersey .31 ERA last season and served an 80-game suspension this year after a drug suspension.But despite those challenges, the Phillies, who are out of the playoff race, would like to see what the young right-hander can do so he will start on Thursday in Washington against the Nationals.Asher got his butt handed to him last year, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin told philly.com last month. He goes down to Triple-A; he never threw the two-seam fastball. He started throwing it. Every report Ive gotten was that its nasty. He actually had success with it.So thats why it was disappointing what happened to him happened because it seemed to be a game-changer for him. We never got to see it. Thats why Id like to see it, added Mackanin, who was drafted by the Washington Senators in 1968.Asher served an 80-game drug suspension that ended Sept. 4. He was allowed to pitch in the Gulf Coast League last month for a Phillies farm team.Last year, Asher had a 9.31 ERA -- the highest mark ever in a season for a Philadelphia pitcher who made at least seven starts.Asher, who is from Lakeland, Fla., has a very small track record against Washington hitters.Daniel Murphy, who seems to hit everyone, is 1-for-1 with a homer and three RBI against Asher and backup catcher Jose Lobaton is also 1-for-1 against Asher. Murphy had three hits on Wednesday for the second day in a row.Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon are 1-for-3 against Asher and Clint Robinson is 1-for-2.Asher was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the fourth round of the 2012 draft and traded to the Phillies in July 2015.He was 0-6 with a 9.31 ERA in seven starts last season as he made his major league debut.Washington will also throw a young right-hander from Florida on Thursday, as A.J. Cole is scheduled to make the start.Cole, also 24, made his big league debut in three games, with one start, last year with the Nationals and was 0-0 with a 5.79 ERA.A fourth-round pick in 2010 by the Nationals, he spent most of this year at Triple-A Syracuse of the International League.Cole is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA in three starts for Washington this year and has seemed much more poised on the big league mound this year.The Nationals rotation appeared to get a lift Wednesday as right-hander Stephen Strasburg came off the 15-day disabled list.We dont really know what his endurance level is, manager Dusty Baker said before the game. Nobody knows better than the pitcher. I know he is a competitor.But then Strasburg was removed from the game in the top of the third after throwing just 42 pitches.Strasburg was not available to the media after the game and he is slated to have an MRI on Thursday, according to Baker.He felt a pinch in the back of his elbow. That was a long walk, Baker said of his trip to the mound in the top of the third to take him out. So I am hoping he is OK. We will find out more tomorrow. He is frustrated and upset. I told you guys earlier ... he said he felt fine (before the game). You dont know until you get into action.Strasburg was a Tommy John surgery patient and so was Lucas Giolito, a rookie right-hander. Baker doesnt think the Wednesday injury is the same area of his elbow that put him on the disabled list last month.I am just hoping Stras is OK, said Giolito, who gave up two runs in 3 1/3 innings as the second reliever to follow Strasburg. It is definitely not the best thing to look at. It is definitely a tough thing.Washington also activated infielder Stephen Drew off the 15-day disabled list after he suffered from vertigo. He came off the bench on Wednesday and was 1-for-1 with a walk.We are glad to have him back. We are not sure what capacity we are going to use him, Baker said. That is a dangerous game out there that we play. Hitting is probably the easiest part right now. Fortunately, we do have enough players. Phil Rizzuto Jersey .
