Last night, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs were eliminated from the postseason and the newest batch of September roster reinforcements are headed to join the Phillies as a result.
#Phillies have recalled OF Cody Asche, RHP Luis Garcia & RHP Phil Klein from Lehigh Valley.

Due to Reading and Lehigh Valley’s postseason run, the Phillies were lacking in available bullpen reinforcements and running with an abnormally small September bullpen as a result.
