The Phillies added three prospects to their 40-man roster on Tuesday while opting to leave off one of their former top arms as they set their roster for next month's Rule 5 draft.
The team still has two vacancies on the 40-man roster after adding 21-year-old shortstop Arquimedes Gamboa, 22-year-old righthander Edgar Garcia, and 21-year-old righthander Adonis Medina. Tuesday was the deadline to add eligible players to the 40-man roster and protect them from being selected in the Rule 5 draft. The draft takes place at the conclusion of the Winter Meetings on Dec. 13 in Las Vegas.
