Philadelphia Phillies bullpen roster adjustments

Overview

The Philadelphia Phillies have taken several steps to address pitching depth and bullpen shortages caused by injuries to players such as Caleb Kilian and Brad Keller.

In mid-August, the team optioned Alan Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and promoted top prospect Alex McFarlane to the Major Leagues. By late August, the Phillies further bolstered their roster by signing right-hander Josh Winder to a two-year minor-league contract. During this period, McFarlane emerged as a reliable option, notably striking out Mike Trout with a 101 mph fastball.
