With Zack Wheeler (shoulder) slated to start the new campaign on the sidelines, Painter has locked himself in to the Phillies' fifth rotation spot for the time being. The soon-to-be 23-year-old is one of the organization's top prospects and has cruised to a 2.31 ERA and 0.77 WHIP across 11.2 innings this spring.
