Overview

  • The team placed Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list with right middle finger inflammation, announcing the move Tuesday.
  • Joe Ross was released after yielding three runs in Monday’s loss to the Mets; he posted a 5.12 ERA over 51 innings in 37 games.
  • The Phillies selected Lou Trivino’s contract after seven scoreless innings at Triple-A Lehigh Valley; he logged a 4.42 ERA with the Giants and Dodgers this season.
  • Daniel Robert was recalled from Triple-A; he has a 5.79 ERA in 9.1 innings for Philadelphia this year with nine scoreless outings in 12 appearances.
  • Romano carries an 8.23 ERA over 42.2 innings, which The Athletic noted is the club’s worst for a 40-plus-inning pitcher since 1934, and manager Rob Thomson said the finger issue likely affected his grip and velocity.
