Overview

  • Philadelphia placed Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list with right middle finger inflammation after he allowed four runs in Monday’s 13-3 loss to the Mets.
  • Joe Ross was released following a three-run outing; he finished with a 5.12 ERA across 51 innings in 37 appearances.
  • Lou Trivino’s contract was selected and Daniel Robert was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to fill the open bullpen spots.
  • Romano owns an 8.23 ERA over 49 appearances this season, with Thomson saying the finger problem has affected his grip and contributed to fluctuating velocity.
  • Trivino threw seven scoreless innings at Triple-A after signing on Aug. 4 and logged a 4.42 ERA this year with the Giants and Dodgers, as the first-place Phillies reassess late-inning roles for the stretch run.
