The Phillies have added six Rule 5 Draft-eligible prospects to their 40-man roster.

The Philadelphia Phillies added six prospects to their 40-man roster on Friday — left-handed pitchers Kyle Dohy (24 years old), Bailey Falter (23), Damon Jones (26); right-handed pitcher Francisco Morales (21); infielder Nick Maton (23); and outfielder Simon Muzziotti (21).

By selecting their contracts ahead of Friday’s deadline, these players are now protected from being selected in next month’s Rule 5 Draft.
