Hunter Optioned; Lough Recalled

It was only a matter of time until the Phillies made a roster change to address their woefully underperforming outfield. Today the Phillies announced that they are sending Cedric Hunter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and have recalled David Lough in his place.

#Phillies have optioned OF Cedric Hunter to Lehigh Valley (AAA) and selected the contract of OF David Lough from Lehigh Valley.

The 80-game suspension of Daniel Stumpf last week moved Stumpf off the active 40-man roster and onto the restricted list giving the Phillies an available 40-man spot.
