Prior to opening a four-game weekend series with the Washington Nationals, the Phillies announced a series of roster moves.
The most notable was that shortstop Didi Gregorius has been released by the team. Jean Segura was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will resume being the starting second baseman, with Bryson Stott likely to shift back to his natural position of shortstop. That would have left Gregorius to be a bench player. Without much in the way of positional flexibility or value as a pinch hitter, the Phillies evidently determined that Yairo Muñoz, Edmundo Sosa and Darick Hall made more sense to keep as bench pieces than Gregorius.
