After weeks of speculation, hordes of prospects, and lots of Cedric Hunter, the Phillies have announced who will be on their 25-man roster for Opening Day this season.
The Phillies placed two players, outfielder Cody Asche and reliever Michael Mariot, on the 15-day disabled list, while three players, starter Matt Harrison, reliever Mario Hollands and outfielder Aaron Altherr have been placed on the 60-day DL.
The placement of those three players on the 60-day DL opened up three roster spots on the team's 40-man, allowing them to select the contracts of left-handed reliever James Russell, infielder Emmanuel Burriss and Hunter.
