Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a bruised left knee. Philadelphia also optioned right-handed reliever Sam Coonrod to Triple-A. Prior to landing on the injured list, the veteran had allowed three runs or fewer in 18 of his 23 starts this year. Wheeler previously made his last start for the Phillies on August 20. He's also logged 148 strikeouts and 33 walks in those 138 innings. The 32-year-old has pitched to a 3.07 ERA and a 2.97 FIP in 138 innings for the National League East franchise this season. The Philadelphia Phillies activated right-handed starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (forearm) from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday. 284 (25-for-88) with two homers, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and two steals in 28 games for the Phils after being acquired from the Angels at the trade deadline. If the 24-year-old is forced to the IL again, it could be the end of his year unless the Phillies make the playoffs. It's now the second time this year that Marsh has injured his knee while jumping into the outfield wall, with the first occurrence sending him to the injured list. Matt Vierling shifted from right field to center field. Marsh went 0-for-1 with a strikeout in the contest before being replaced by Dalton Guthrie in right field.

So I want to wish him a speedy recovery and that hopefully we see him on a baseball field again.Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) left Tuesday's game early against the Toronto Blue Jays with 'left knee discomfort,' and he'll be evaluated further. On a related note, I have been wondering why former first round pick Zach Collier has not signed with a team and it appears he had heart surgery recently. This video could be him except the player is LH and Aris is listed as RH. There are no scouting reports that I can find.ĬF Abdallah Aris – 5’11” 155 – Age 18 () – Araure, Venezuela If the H/W are true, this is a big boy for being only 16. RHP Williams Mendoza – 6’7″ 200 – Age 16 () – San Felipe, Venezuela This winter he apparently was up to 94 after flashing a 96 mph fastball in front of Phillies scouts earlier.ĢB Raul Rivas – 5’10” 145 – Age 18 () – Cumana, Venezuela Llovera pitched for a Tampa HS last year and was reportedly up to 91. Llovera played on the Phillies in the Liga Paralela in Venezuela where he pitched 8 innings with 4 walks and 4 strikeouts.

RHP Mauricio Alejandro Llovera – 5’11” 200 – Age 18 () – El Tigre, Venezuela Benitez is a former middle infielder whose stats were not great at Talladega after transferring before the 2013 season.ĢB Jhon Meison Herrera – 5’11” 170 – Age 16 () – Maracaibo, Venezuela Junior college signee and former Blue Jays 31st round pick (2011). RHP Luis Benitez – 6’3″ 195 – Age 22 – Talladega College He is a low velocity LHP, but is coming off a winter where he had a 2.70 ERA 13 BBs and 25 Ks over 50 IP in Mexico. Much like Berken he will likely function as start depth. He has bounced around the minors since then as a starter. He made the majors in 2011 for 7 terrible starts, then in the fall of 2012 he had to have emergency brain surgery. LHP Anthony Vasquez – 6’0″ 190 – Age 28 – FA He has been AAA starting depth for the past two years and that is likely what he is here for the Phillies while they sort through prospects. RHP Jason Berken – 6’0″ 210 – Age 31 – FAīerken made the majors from 2009 to 2012 as a backend starter and reliever. No reports on his stuff, but he does have a projectable frame. Munoz has been not good in his career so far, which included 4 years in the Royals system including 2 in the DSL. RHP Jairo Munoz – 6’5″ 175 – Age 23 – Released by Royals So here we go with what little information we have. These players may never be impactful, but given that many Latin American signees come into the org this way, it is worth taking a look to see what we can find. These signings are not reported by beat writers, there is no press conference to announce. Often minor league signings just go under the radar, whether a player just appears on a roster, on a BA transaction page, or just silently onto the official transactions page.
