Phillies' Zach Eflin: Will start Saturday

Eflin (knee) will start Saturday against the Padres, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Eflin was questionable for the start after he was limited to two innings Sunday against the Nationals due to a knee issue. However, he did significant pregame work Wednesday and Thursday and is comfortable enough to take the mound. Interim manager Rob Thompson stated that Eflin would not have any restrictions in San Diego.
