One Phillies reliever has finally made it back from injury.
Right-handed pitcher Sam Coonrod (right shoulder strain) was activated from the 60-day injured list. In a corresponding move, Corey Knebel was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain. Left-handed pitcher Andrew Vasquez has been designated for assignment to make room for Coonrod on the 40-man roster.
Coonrod’s injury dates back to spring training, when he began dealing with shoulder issues in late March. He started ramping up for a return last month, appearing in his first rehab outing in Clearwater on July 23.
