Phillies Officially Promote Adam Morgan; Garcia to AAA

The Phillies made it official today and called up Adam Morgan to replace the injured Charlie Morton in the rotation.

#Phillies have optioned RHP Luis Garcia to Lehigh Valley (AAA) and recalled LHP Adam Morgan. Morgan will start tonight vs Cleveland.

Relief pitcher Dalier Hinojosa was pulled from yesterday’s game after taking a comebacker off his pitching hand in the eighth inning, so the fact that the corresponding roster move for Morgan’s promotion isn’t a trip to the disabled list for Hinojosa is welcome news.
