Oswalt Throws Bullpen For Phils, Charlie Suspended

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Spots is reporting that the Phils watched Roy Oswalt throw a bullpen session last week near his Mississippi home while the Boston Red Sox took a look at him this week. Rosenthal Tweeted: “One source said Oswalt appeared in good shape, but not surprisingly, more in spring-training mode than mid-season form.” We will have more on this as it develops.

In other Phillies-related news, Rosenthal also Tweeted: “Baseball suspends #Phillies manager Charlie Manuel for one game stemming from incident that led to his ejection by Bob Davidson on Tuesday.” Lesson learned? Never argue balls and strikes.
