Seranthony Dominguez, who moved last month to triple A after just 13 innings in double A, continued his rapid ascent on Monday. The Phillies promoted the hard-throwing reliever to the major leagues after just three games at triple A.

A roster spot opened when Adam Morgan was placed on the disabled list with a back strain.
