The Phils add five players in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft.
The Phillies didn’t select or lose anyone in the major league portion of the Rule 5 Draft, but they made plenty of moves on the minor league side.
Catchers selected by Phils: William Simoneit (A’s), Louis Calcutta (D’s) and Carson Taylor (Dodgers); and outfielders Trevor Showpiece (Blue Jays) and Bryson Ball (Guardsmen).
They also lost lefties Rafael Marcano (Twins) and Kalyani Kilgore (Royals), and righties Carlos Betancur (Astros) and Blake Brown (Rays).On July 25, in Los Angeles, artist Tommy John underwent ulnar nerve transposition surgery.
The operation was performed by orthopedic surgeon Neil Elattrache.
The normal return period is 15 to 18 months. According to the Phillies, Painter will miss the 2024 season.
They initially tried a conservative rehab course at the advice of Elattra, who worked closely with Painter’s doctors and agent Scott Boras.
“I know we’re going to take a look at [Artist] and I think there’s a good chance he’ll be in our rotation at that point in 2025,” President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski said.
“But it takes a long time.”Wellman has made one start for the Phillies this season.
He last pitched at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sept. 3.
