Some other reassignments also occurred but did not require options. Non-roster invitees OF Leandro Castro and C Sebastian Valle have been reassigned to minor league camp while 40-man roster invites OF Aaron Altherr and Kelly Dugan have been sent to minor league camp as well. There are currently 36 40-man roster players in camp and 16 non-roster invitees in camp fighting for 25 Phillies’ roster spots.
Additionally, the Phillies have released minor league infielder Jairo Cardozo per Baseball America’s Matt Eddy. The Venezuelan-native Cardozo, 20, hit just .196/.267/.228 with just two extra base hits for Short-Season Williamsport in 32 games played across three positions in the infield.
