The Philadelphia Phillies will have a new-look rotation soon. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, the team signed Walker Buehler <\/a>after he was cut loose by the Boston Red Sox. The 31-year-old will soon join the team’s starting rotation. The Athletic’s Matt Gelb is reporting<\/a> Buehler will start for the Phillies on September 12 against the Kansas City Royals after one Triple-A tune-up. The team will go with a six-man rotation moving forward.<\/p>\n

With Zack Wheeler out for the season<\/a>, Buehler will join a rotation that features Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Taijuan Walker, Aaron Nola, and Ranger Suarez. <\/p>\n

Buehler signed a one-year, $21.05 million deal with Boston in December, but it didn’t work out. In 23 appearances starts for the Red Sox, the two-time All-Star went 7-7 with a 5.45 ERA, a 1.56 WHIP, and 84 strikeouts against 55 walks in 112 1\/3 innings. He posted career-worsts in fWAR (-0.7) and xFIP (4.94).<\/p>\n

The Phillies will hope a change of scenery helps Buehler turn things around. With Wheeler out, they’ll need some help in the rotation.<\/p>\n
