Phillies make somewhat surprising 40-man roster moves

The Phillies announced their 40-man roster moves Monday, and some were … wow …

Added to the 40-man roster:

  • Seranthony Dominguez (SP)
  • Franklyn Kilome (SP)
  • Ranger Suarez (SP)
  • Jose Taveras (SP)

Relatively obvious choices. No Carlos Tocci, however, so maybe the Phils are betting that a team won’t want to stash him as a fifth outfielder. Same for Andrew Pullin.

That means two spots had to open up. And boy did they. DFA’d and waived are:

  • Mark Appel (SP)
  • Alberto Tirado (SP)

Tirado was more likely, as the once heralded prospect continued to show poor command.
