The Phillies demoted top position prospect Bryson Stott to Triple-A Lehigh Valley prior to Monday’s game. To replace him on the active roster, the Phillies selected the contract of outfielder Roman Quinn. Ryan Sherriff (left shoulder strain) was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Quinn on the 40-man roster.
Stott, 24, forced the Phillies’ hand with an excellent showing in spring training. He was selected to the roster and started at third base on Opening Day, but he is stuck in an 0-for-18 slump and hasn’t received an at-bat since April 19, when he came into the game as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning.
