Bullpen shuffle: Thompson down, Garcia up

Related Topics: Bullpen, Jake Thompson

The bullpen shuffle continues.

The Phillies on Thursday optioned Jake Thompson to triple-A Lehigh Valley, ending one of the weirder cups of coffee in recent memory.

Today, they recalled reliever Luis Garcia, who must really love the Northeast Extension by this point. Garcia is carrying a 5.79 ERA in 4.2 innings with Lehigh Valley.

So, currently, the bullpen is: Garcia, Mark Leiter Jr., Joely Rodriguez, Edubray Ramos, Pat Neshek, Joaquin Benoit and Hector Neris.
