Michael Lorenzen began his big league career with the Reds, playing in Cincinnati for seven seasons and being used as a starting pitcher, occasional closer, pinch-runner, pinch-hitter and for six games in 2019 as their starting center fielder. Lorenzen owns seven career big league home runs, with two of them coming against the Phillies. He was given the chance to be a full-time starting pitcher by the Angels last season, and the Tigers committed him to the same role when he signed with them this past offseason. Lorenzen was 5-7 with a 3.58 ERA for the Tigers, and he'd be the club's sole representative at the All-Star Game this past July in Seattle.

Looking to bolster their starting pitcher rotation, the Phillies acquired Lorenzen from the Tigers at this year's trade deadline. He was amazing in his first two starts, throwing eight solid innings in a winning effort on August 3rd and pitching the 14th no-hitter in Phillies franchise history on August 9th.
