Pivetta is set to make his major-league debut after spending nearly the last week with the major-league team. His debut was originally going to be last Wednesday, but Tuesday’s game being postponed pushed the rotation back a day and forced Pivetta’s debut to be moved to Sunday.
Pivetta was electric in his first three starts in Triple-A, giving up just two earned runs in 19 innings. He had already collected 24 strikeouts with just walks before being called up.
Ryu is coming off his best start of the season so far, giving up just one run in six innings against the Giants. He has a career 2.77 ERA against the Phils in two starts.
