PHILADELPHIA -- A day after using seven relievers in a 7-4 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday night, the Phillies reshuffled their bullpen to prepare for Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, which required 54 outs from the pitching staff.
Lefties Aaron Loup (left forearm strain) and Austin Davis (lower back tightness) were both placed on the 10-day disabled list. Ranger Suarez, Philadelphia's starter in the Game 1 loss on Thursday, and Mark Leiter, who had thrown more than an inning in six of his 11 big league appearances in 2018, were recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill out the active roster. Both were then optioned after Game 1 and Game 2, respectively.
"[Loup's injury] happened during [Wednesday's] game," Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. "I'll get a little more clarity for you when I can."
Suarez allowed eight runs (four earned) on 11 hits while walking two and striking out two. Right-hander Yacksel Rios, an ideal bullpen reinforcement who allowed two runs (one earned) in the ninth inning of the Game 2 win, replaced Suarez on the roster.
Right-hander Zach Eflin was also called up as the Phils' 26th man for the doubleheader. He started Game 2 and allowed four earned runs over 6 2/3 innings to earn his ninth win of 2018. He'll return to the Minors until his next turn in the rotation, completing the Phillies' roster manipulation with one of their best starters.

Loup, who was not available in the Phillies clubhouse Thursday, pitched a scoreless seventh inning Wednesday night. He's thrown just two innings in four appearances since the Phillies acquired him just before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Davis also contributed a scoreless inning on Wednesday, but he has allowed at least one earned run in five of his past eight appearances to see his ERA rise to 4.13.
"It's just one of those things where it's a long season," Davis said. "You get tired. I have a history of back issues. We want to make sure we keep me healthy and ready to go for the rest of the season."
The roster moves continue the carousel that has been the Phillies' bullpen in 2018. Hector Neris, who began the season as the team's closer, spent extended time in Triple-A; Wednesday night's appearance was his first for Philadelphia since June 29. Edubray Ramos, owner of a 1.91 ERA in 39 Major League appearances this season, is currently an IronPig. The Phils can afford to have a fluid 'pen because they have a surplus of young arms with options remaining. It is a welcome situation for a team trying to win its first National League East title since 2011.
