Phillies send down Edubray Ramos; Victor Arano recalled

Share

Update: Pitcher Victor Arano has been recalled. 

The Phillies have altered their opening day roster for the first time this regular season, optioning right-handed reliever Edubray Ramos to Triple A Lehigh Valley. 

A corresponding roster move will be made prior to Friday’s game in Miami against a Marlins team that was outscored 21-1 by the Reds the last three days. 

The activation of Roman Quinn is a possibility but seems more likely to occur next week. The promotion of another reliever would fit with the Phillies’ preference to carry eight relievers. 

Candidates include:

• Victor Arano, who has pitched four scoreless innings at Triple A, allowing one baserunner and striking out seven.

• Edgar Garcia, an interesting right-handed relief prospect with a good slider. 

• Lefties James Pazos and Austin Davis, who are both at Triple A. 

All four are on the Phillies’ 40-man roster. 

We’ll see tomorrow.
