Just hours before Freddy Galvis is set to make his first appearance in a Philadelphia Phillies uniform since the 2017 season at shortstop, the club parted ways with a fellow 31-year-old infielder — who notably made headlines with legendary second baseman Chase Utley during the 2015 National League Division Series.
According to The Morning Call’s Tom Housenick, the Phillies released nine-year veteran Ruben Tejada on Wednesday. Spanning 72 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, the infielder slashed .231/.341/.262 with five doubles, one triple, zero home runs, 15 RBI, 32 walks, and 46 strikeouts.
