The Phillies shook up their roster Tuesday by designating Michael Saunders and Jeanmar Gomez for assignment. To replace Gomez in the bullpen, the team added left-handed reliever Hoby Milner to the 40-man roster.
Milner isn’t the call-up everyone was hoping for this season. He’s never been part of top prospect discussion, only occasionally being thrown in the conversation when talking about bullpen arms. However, he’s in the majors now and its worth taking a look at the newest arm in Philadelphia’s bullpen.
Milner was drafted back in the seventh round of the 2012 draft from the University of Texas.
