With the regular season nearing, the Phillies sent a few more players back to the minor-league camp. Outfielder Tyler Goeddel and right-handed pitcher Jake Thompson have both been reassigned to the minor-league camp. Non-roster invitees Dalier Hinojosa, Logan Moore, and Hector Gomez were also demoted.
Goeddel, Philadelphia’s 2015 Rule 5 pick, spent all of 2016 with the major-league team and struggled. He had a meager .192/.258/.291 line in 213 at-bats.
In 28 spring at-bats, Goeddel had a .655 OPS with four RBI and five runs scored.
