Left-handed pitcher Tanner Banks has progressed through injury recovery to rejoin the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen. After being sidelined since July 9 due to a forearm strain, Banks began a rehab assignment on August 26 with the intention of serving as a multi-inning reliever for the postseason push.

By mid-September, the Phillies officially activated Banks from the 60-day injured list. To facilitate his return to the 28-man roster, the team designated infielder Christian Cairo for assignment and optioned Grant Holman to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. His return provides depth to a bullpen that recently faced instability, including an incident where Jesús Luzardo was scratched due to shoulder soreness.
