More Callups
The Phillies added three more players following Monday’s loss to the Washington Nationals.
With these three September callups, the Phillies now have added seven players to their Major League roster for the stretch run.
The three added on Monday have all spent time in Philadelphia this season.
They are infielders Andy Tracy and Mike Cervenak and left handed pitcher Les Walrond. The Phillies now have four left handed pitchers in their bullpen. That should be enough arms to spell J.C. Romero and Scott Eyre for the rest of the season.
In other news, newly acquired infielder/outfielder Matt Stairs made his Phillies debut on Monday, starting in right field.
Jayson Werth was moved to left field to spell the struggling Pat Burrell for one day.
Burrell was back in the lineup on Tuesday night against the Nationals and left hander John Lannan.
