⚾ A slugger is returning to the Phillies' 40-man roster as Darick Hall is activated and sent to Triple-A. Dalton Guthrie was DFA'ed to make room on the 40-man roster. ringthebell NBCSPhilly
Outfielder Dalton Guthrie was designated for assignment Monday by the Phillies, who needed to clear a 40-man roster spot to reinstate Darick Hall from the 60-day injured list.
Hall had been out since the first week of the regular season with a right thumb sprain suffered sliding into second base at Yankee Stadium. He had a productive spring training, and after Rhys Hoskins tore his ACL, Hall opened the season as the Phillies' first baseman against right-handed pitching. It's a job that has since been claimed by Kody Clemens, who has played well offensively and defensively.
Guthrie was the odd man out. The Phillies have seven outfielders on their 40-man roster in Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Cristian Pache, Jake Cave and prospects Johan Rojas and Simon Muzziotti. Pache returned from a meniscus tear over the weekend and played a key role in the Phillies' three-game sweep in Oakland. Guthrie had been the right-handed-hitting backup outfielder while Pache was out.
