Earlier Friday, the Philadelphia Phillies announced they’ve released Casey Fien from his contract, and now is a free agent. Fien, 33, was in his last year of his contract and would’ve became a free agent anyways.
Fien has been on the 60-day disabled list with a impingement in his right shoulder, and it would have required surgery. This season, Fien pitched in four games with the Phillies, all as a reliever out of the bullpen.
He has played in both Philadelphia and Seattle this year. In 10 appearances combined with the two teams, he posted a ERA of 12.
