Lazar allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday’s 8-2 loss to the Angels.
Lazar has been called upon almost strictly in low-leverage situations for most of the season — he has zero holds and one save — but he’s been a viable bullpen arm for the Phillies. Across 21.2 innings, the 26-year-old right-hander owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB. Philadelphia signed veteran right-hander David Robertson on Sunday, which could mean Lazar will soon be even more hard-pressed to find high-leverage work.
