The Clearwater Threshers added RHP Victor Arano to their roster from extended spring training.
RHP Yacksel Rios was added to 7-Day DL as of April 21.
The Threshers rotation is in doubt. It is listed as TBD for the next few days. I would have expected Nunez tonight, Kleven tomorrow, and Rios in Imhof’s slot again on Friday. With this news, it looks like Arano may join the rotation.
Lehigh Valley beat Scranton, 6-1. Seve Gonzalez allowed 1 run on 6 hits and 0 walks over 6.0 innings and got the win. Second best outing of the day. Cesar Jimenez got a 2.0 inning hold on 1 hit. Colton Murray struck out one in his one mop up inning. Maikel Franco went 2 for 5 with an RBI. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 4/21/2015

Here’s an open discussion thread so the minor league posts don’t get cluttered with Phillies’ talk and other topics.
Under other topics – I just listened to the ESPN color analyst (John Kruk?) blame a terrible throw by Yadier Molina on the pitcher because of his high leg kick. Really? Molina can’t make a bad throw without it being somebody else’s fault?
Phillies lost and are 4-9 on the season, 1-6 over the last week, and had a 6-game losing streak. Anybody still watching? Still care? I think I’ll track something I know you care about – Papelbon 3 saves in 3 save opportunities, 4 games finished.
Lehigh Valley lost 5-4 to Buffalo. Colton Murray blew a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth. Maikel Franco went 2 for 5 with 2 doubles (#7 and 8) and an RBI ( #8). He is hitting .386 for the season, so far. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 4/19/2015
