Phillies Designate Kevin Correia For Assignment

By Jeff Todd | July 7, 2015 at 1:20pm CDT

The Phillies have designated righty Kevin Correia for assignment, the club announced. Fellow right-hander Severino Gonzalez has been recalled and will take a start on Thursday, per the release.

Correia, 34, spent time this spring with the Mariners and started the year in the Giants organization, ultimately opting out and signing with Philadelphia. He had solid results in his first several Triple-A starts, but has scuffled to a 6.56 ERA over 23 1/3 innings with the Phillies. Correia has struck out 5.4 and walked 3.1 batters per nine in that span. Never a hard thrower, Correia’s average fastball velocity is the lowest it has ever been, sitting between 88 and 89 mph.

Dating back to the start of his big league career in 2003, Correia has allowed 4.62 earned runs for every regulation game, putting up 5.7 K/9 against 3.0 BB/9 with a lifetime 44.1% groundball rate. His best season came in 2009 with the Padres, when he was worth 3.0 fWAR over 198 solid frames.

    Kind of out of the blue. The Phillies get rid of 2 SP in a day but yet still struggle for starters. I would imagine David Buchanan, Jerome Williams and Aaron Nola all have to be getting close to returns/debuts in the Bigs.

      Yeah you’d think if they gave O’Sullivan as long of a leash as they did, that Correia would’ve gotten a bit more time.

    I really like this guy. Hope he can at some point Zach Duke or Oliver Perez himself as he gets a bit older

    This team is a train wreck. Gonzalez is not ready for the big leagues. Now Williams will have a rehab start then he’ll be back getting bombed routinely . After watching a year of the 76ers putting out scrub after scrub now it’s the phillies turn apparently
