Phillies bullpen coming together as two more are optioned to Triple-A

Phillies relievers Victor Arano and Yacksel Rios have been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start the season, according to multiple beat writers.

In Spring Training this year Arano had an ungodly 45.00 ERA after allowing 22 runs in 13.1 innings.

Rios, on the other hand, was very good in limited spring training action with a 0.82 ERA in nine games.

Barring any corresponding moves, the bullpen appears to be set with eight arms going into Opening Day: Seranthony Dominguez, Pat Neshek, David Robertson, Hector Neris, Adam Morgan, Jose Alvarez, Juan Nicasio, and Edubray Ramos.
