  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Phillies transferred Covey (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Covey has been on the IL since the beginning of the season due to a right shoulder strain, so his move to the 60-day IL has no effect on his return date. It does, however, open a spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster for Freddy Tarnok, who was claimed off waivers from Oakland on Saturday. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Claimed by Phillies
    The Phillies claimed Tarnok (hip) off waivers from Oakland on Saturday, reinstated him from the 60-day injured list, and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: Tarnok has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a hip procedure he underwent in August. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on May 8, allowing 11 earned runs in just 7.1 innings. He'll remain in Triple-A upon making a full recovery and shifting to a new organization, though a drastic turnaround would likely be necessary before Tarnok spends any time in the Phillies' bullpen. Dylan Covey (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Takes batting practice Saturday
    Yoshida (thumb) took live batting practice in Boston on Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Yoshida was able to take another step in his recovery from the strain left thumb that has sidelined him since May 1. The outfielder said Saturday that he is "over the injury and it's a matter of building up," according to Abraham. Yoshida will likely need to embark on a multi-start rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
