The Phillies have selected the contracts of RHPs Seranthony Dominguez, Franklyn Kilome and Jose Taveras and LHP Ranger Suarez to the 40-man roster. In addition, they claimed INF Engelb Vielma from the San Francisco Giants.
To make room on the 40-man roster, RHPs Mark Appel and Alberto Tirado were designated for assignment and LHP Elniery Garcia was outrighted to triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Dominguez, Kilome, Taveras and Suarez were all eligible for the upcoming Rule 5 Draft and therefore needed to be added to the 40-man roster for protection.
