Phillies claim veteran outfielder on waivers as part of series of roster moves

The Philadelphia Phillies claimed outfielder Bradley Zimmer off of waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays as part of a series of roster moves announced Thursday afternoon.

As center fielder Brandon Marsh deals with both a bone bruise to his left knee and a left ankle sprain, he’s been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 17. We’ll learn a more specific timetable on Marsh Friday afternoon when interim manager Rob Thomson speaks before the Phillies open a four-game weekend set with the New York Mets.
