Phillies Return Rule 5 Pick Daniel Stumpf To Royals

By Steve Adams | July 25, 2016 at 2:07pm CDT

The Phillies announced today that left-hander Daniel Stumpf has cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Stumpf, a Rule 5 pick back in December, has been offered back and returned to his original organization, the Royals. Rustin Dodd of the Kansas City Star tweets that procedure dictated that Stumpf be optioned back to Triple-A (his level at the time of his selection in the Rule 5), but the Royals will immediately transfer him to Double-A. Stumpf, 25, broke camp with the Phillies but quickly found himself slapped with an 80-game suspension after testing positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, a substance that is banned under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement.

In total, Stumpf logged just five innings with the Phillies, during which time he yielded six earned runs on nine hits and a pair of walks with two strikeouts. Stumpf spent the 2015 season with the Royals’ Double-A affiliate and pitched to a 3.57 ERA with a 76-to-31 K/BB ratio in 70 2/3 innings of work. While he held right-handed batters in check for the most part, Stumpf was an overwhelming force against lefties last year, limiting same-handed opponents to an dismal .167/.289/.250 batting line over the course of the year. Those high-quality results led to Stumpf’s selection in the Rule 5, but he’ll now look to work his way back to the Majors with the organization that originally drafted him in the ninth round of the 2012 draft.

Though Stumpf is back in the Royals organization, the Phillies still have one Rule 5 pick remaining on the roster; outfielder Tyler Goeddel is still with the club, although he’s batted just .211/.250/.337 in 177 plate appearances over the course of the year.

    Got shelled in ST, failed a drug test, then get shelled in the regular season. Not worth the roster spot.

    In other news, the Rangers have showed interest in Velasquez (not sure if MLBTR posted that or not, sorry if they did). I’d take Gallo straight up

      I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned yet on MLBTR either. Personally, I wouldn’t do that trade. Gallo has way too many flaws as a hitter right now that I wouldn’t do that trade straight up. I know Velasquez has a history of injuries, but I’d pass on that. I think I’m going to be in the minority with that opinion.

      And I have more interest in Profar than I do Gallo.

      Why would the Phillies do that? Velasquez is only 24 and they have Franco at 3rd.

    I’m assuming that by “the Phillies still have one Rule 5 pick remaining on the roster,” Steve means the team has one Rule V pick from 2015. They also have Odubel Herrera, who was selected in the 2014 Rule V draft and who has been very good for the Phillies.

      No, they have the kid Tyler Goeddel from Tampa who they took first overall in the Rule V

        He meant Goeddel, because technically Goeddel was selected in 2015 as the Rule 5 draft is at the end of the year.

      Yes, Tyler Goeddel. Herrera is no longer considered a Rule 5 pick as he already graduated from that status last year.

        Ah, okay – he’s considered a former Rule 5 pick, then. Thanks.

        He’d have to play for the Yankees by default so they didn’t have to try. Haha
