A move which does not shock Phillies fans was made official late Thursday evening, as the Phillies sent Adam Morgan back to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to work on his craft.
The Phillies official Twitter account confirmed the roster move following Morgan’s seventh loss of the season, as did multiple insiders prior to the official release.
A corresponding move is expected to be made prior to Friday’s game against the Rockies. Relievers Andrew Bailey (hamstring strain) and Daniel Stumpf (PED suspension) were both reunited with the club in Colorado.
A Rule 5 pick by the Phillies in 2016 from the Royals organization, Daniel Stumpf was suspended by Major League Baseball after testing positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.
