Ranger's velocity was up a little, hitting some 92s.
Which adds credence to these being "rehab" starts, he's still building back strength.
From their perspective, that's more important than winning these games, b/c they need him for the POs.
Walker has also been slowing building velocity, but his splitter has gone south.
Ranger has his pitches, if he gets a little stronger, that should help his command.
Fortunately, Phillies have the luxury of "babying" both pitchers and resting the front of the bullpen.
Ruiz has turned out to be a great find that has really helped to solidify the back of the pen.
