Phillies predictions: Bryce Harper’s return, Aaron Nola’s contract

3. Andrew Painter will finish in the top three for National League Rookie of the Year
Painter, a right-handed starter, might open the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, because the Phillies will be monitoring his workload closely. But MLB Pipeline’s No. 24 prospect will be in the rotation at some point, and the prediction here is that he will live up to the hype.

I see the Phillies calling him up in September at the earliest, more than likely April of '24. But he seems like the real deal.

I can see a scenario where Painter is up by mid-May. But, I'd think the more likely scenario is he's called up in mid-to-late August. Injuries to SP could accelerate his timetable if he's pitching well.
