The Phillies announced that they’ve placed reliever Edubray Ramos on the 10-day disabled list with a left patella tendon strain. To take his roster spot, the team reinstated fellow reliever Luis Garcia from the DL.
At 54-43 and tied with the Braves for the NL East lead, the Phillies have been among the majors’ surprise teams this season. The 25-year-old Ramos has been partially responsible for their success, having logged a 1.91 ERA/3.21 FIP with 9.0 K/9 and 3.55 BB/9 in 32 2/3 innings.
Ramos has joined Seranthony Dominguez, Victor Arano, Tommy Hunter and Pat Neshek to comprise a formidable quintet in relief. Nevertheless, the Phillies have been on the lookout for bullpen help in advance of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and losing Ramos for at least 10 days could further influence general manager Matt Klentak to upgrade his team’s relief corps.
The only thing formidable about Tommy Hunter this year is how much he can eat.
He’s been dreadful.
I have to walk away from the tv when I see Hunter coming in. Noone wants to hear the words that start coming out of my mouth.
you don’t say.. hunter needs to go bye bye and “stretch” needs to go .back to AAA and get his timing back. don’t know what happen to him. was good in 2017 and a big dud in 2018. let William’s play every day. enough with him platooning.
finish venting.
Make that one game up on the braves, at the end of games today.
