The Phillies entered the 2018 season with a 40 man roster full of pitchers. On the surface it made a lot of sense. The team was going to run a 4 man bench, it was going to run a fairly stable lineup, and the major league team had enough positional flexibility to withstand minor injuries. Largely this year, that has held true, with the only 25 man roster injury being J.P. Crawford’s. In that instance the Phillies moved Kingery into his spot, Pedro Florimon into his spot, and promoted Jesmuel Valentin to sit in Pedro Florimon’s spot on the bench.
Pedro Florimon to the DL, Reportedly Mitch Walding to the Majors
