Philadelphia recalled McFarlane from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Aug 11Rotowire

McFarlane will begin his second stint with the big-league club this season after being recalled Tuesday. The 25-year-old most recently appeared at the big-league level July 22, recording a scoreless inning against the Dodgers. The right-hander has dazzled with Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, pitching to a 1.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 55:20 K:BB in 39.1 innings. The Phillies optioned Alan Rangel to Lehigh Valley to open a spot on the 26-man roster.

McFarlane made just one appearance with the Phillies after being promoted Monday, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning against the Dodgers. He'll now head back to the minors to help make room on Philadelphia's pitching staff for Brian Keller, who is set to work as a bulk reliever Saturday.

Jul 20Rotowire

McFarlane will skip over the Triple-A level and get his first big-league call-up after thriving as Reading's closer this season. The 25-year-old righty converted all 11 of his save chances at Double-A while submitting a 2.06 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47:18 K:BB in 35 innings. McFarlane will likely begin his time with the Phillies as a lower-leverage reliever but could eventually work his way into a setup role in front of Jhoan Duran.

The Phillies will recall McFarlane from Double-A Reading prior to Monday's contest versus the Dodgers, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.

Jul 20Rotowire

McFarlane had a brief stint with the Phillies in April but has yet to make his major-league debut. The 25-year-old has made a full-time move to relief this season and turned in a 2.06 ERA and 47:18 K:BB over 35 frames at Reading.

Apr 25Rotowire

McFarlane was called up to Philadelphia on Friday but didn't get into that day's contest against Atlanta. He's headed back to Reading one day later, as the Phillies needed to clear a spot on the active roster for Zack Wheeler (shoulder), who was reinstated from the injured list. McFarlane has been pitching well in the minors and could get another chance to make his big-league debut later this season.
