Tyler Cloyd allowed two runs over seven innings as the Phillies beat the Marlins on Tuesday.

It was just the second start of the year for the right-hander, and he picked up his first win after allowing eight hits and two walks over his seven innings. If he continues to pitch well, he's got a good shot to hold onto the rotation spot vacated when Roy Halladay went down. His next start will likely come Monday against the Red Sox.

Phillies recalled RHP Tyler Cloyd from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Cloyd will return to make the start Tuesday night against the Marlins. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings against the Diamondbacks back on May 10 and makes for a decent streaming option in NL-only leagues.

Tyler Cloyd will be recalled to start on Tuesday against the Marlins.

The schedule allowed the Phillies to go with four starters for a while, but Cloyd will return with the No. 5 spot coming up. The righty pitched well earlier this month against the D'Backs and isn't a bad streaming option in Miami.

The Phillies will go with a four-man rotation for now, but Cloyd is expected to be called up when a fifth starter is needed again on May 21 vs. the Marlins. He allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings Friday in his regular season debut. Justin De Fratus will replace him on the active roster.

Tyler Cloyd, called up before the game, pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs Friday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks.

Despite a subpar fastball, Cloyd has been a surprisingly solid major league starter in seven outings dating back to last year. We wouldn't expect it to last, though. With two off days next week, the Phillies will have the option of skipping Floyd and not using him until the Marlins series May 20-22. If they go that route, Cloyd would be worthy of a brief pickup in NL-only leagues.

Cloyd will start Friday against the Diamondbacks in place of the injured Roy Halladay. The right-hander got the call partly because he's on the 40-man roster and Adam Morgan isn't Cloyd has a 5.40 mark so far this year at Triple-A and is only a deep NL-only league option.

Tyler Cloyd will be recalled to start on Friday against the Diamondbacks.

He's taking Roy Halladay's spot in the rotation, getting the nod over Adam Morgan. Cloyd posted a 4.91 ERA and 30/7 K/BB ratio in 33 innings over six starts with the Phillies last season and has a 5.40 mark so far this year at Triple-A. He's only a deep NL-only league option.

Phillies optioned RHPs Tyler Cloyd and B.J. Rosenberg, LHP Mauricio Robles, OF Tyson Gillies and C Sebastian Valle to minor league camp.

The team has yet to announce the specific minor league assignments for each player, but there's not a surprise in the bunch. Cloyd, 25, had a 4.91 ERA and 30/7 K/BB ratio in 33 innings over six starts with the Phillies last season and could be a consideration for a callup in the event of an injury.

Tyler Cloyd was pounded for six runs in two innings out of the pen by the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Cloyd held his own in six major league starts late last year, but he doesn't have the stuff to take a step forward. In truth, he could have a tough time just sticking as a middle reliever. He'll likely open this season at Triple-A.

The Phillies have shut down Tyler Cloyd for the remainder of the season due to a tired arm situation.

Cloyd has tossed a career-high 175 innings this season between Triple-A Lehigh Valley and the Phillies. In six starts with the big league club, he posted a 2-2 record, 4.91 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 30/7 K/BB ratio over 33 innings. The right-hander will enter the 2013 season competing for the fifth spot in the Phillies rotation.

Tyler Cloyd struggled in a losing effort against the Nationals on Thursday, surrendering six runs on six hits over five-plus innings of work.

He punched out four while issuing two walks on the night. Bryce Harper and Mike Morse were responsible for all of the damage against him in the game. Harper launched a solo homer in the first and plated another with an RBI single in the fifth, while Morse blasted a pair of home runs, and also notched an RBI single. Cloyd will carry a 2-2 record, 4.91 ERA and 30/7 K/BB ratio into his final start of the season where he'll do battle against these same Nationals in Washington on Tuesday.

Tyler Cloyd turned in an outstanding performance in Thursday's win over the Mets, allowing just one run on three hits over eight terrific innings.

Cloyd racked up six strikeouts on the evening while walking just two. The only blemish on his night was a solo homer by Mike Baxter in the fifth inning. He's been wildly inconsistent through his first five starts, but has compiled a solid 2-1 record, 3.86 ERA and 26/5 K/BB ratio in 28 innings. He'll look to continue rolling when he takes on the Nationals at home on Wednesday.

Tyler Cloyd lasted just three-plus innings in a no-decision against the Astros on Thursday, surrendering three runs on five hits in the process.

Cloyd punched out four without issuing a free pass in the game. Working on short-rest, he cruised through the first three innings virtually unscathed, but ran into trouble in the fourth. After a pair of singles to start the frame, Matt Dominguez followed with a three-run bomb to chase Cloyd from the game. He's compiled a 1-1 record, 4.95 ERA and 20/3 K/BB ratio through his first 20 innings on the season, and will attempt to get back in the win column when he battles the Mets in New York on Tuesday.
