Phillies slash 6 names from 40-man roster

The Phillies made their first move to spruce up the 40-man roster Friday, as they outrighted to triple-A Lehigh Valley pitchers Patrick Schuster, Dalier Hinojosa, Frank Herrmann and Colton Murray; infielder Emmanuel Burriss; and outfielder Jimmy Paredes.

None of those players figure to be long-term solutions for the Phillies. Of them, Paredes had the most time in the majors, hitting .217 in 76 games in 2016. Murray put up a 6.
