Hector Neris latest Lehigh Valley IronPig to get his shot with the Philadelphia Phillies

Hector Neris got back to pitching inside with his fastball, so he's headed back to the Phillies.

The 26-year-old right-hander didn't allow a run in his last 12 1/3 innings out of the bullpen for the IronPigs before getting promoted to take the place of injured Jerome Williams (hamstring).

"I sent a message to Ryno [Sandberg] about how he's really come on here the last seven outings," IronPigs manager Dave Brundage said. "Different guy. That's what got him to the big leagues last year."

Neris is 1-3 with a 3.60 ERA in 22 games this season with Lehigh Valley.
