Talkin' Phils with Little Chase (10-18-13)

Hi everybody,

Some Phillies news to report so let's get started:

Phillies Coaching News:

Juan Samuel and Wally Joyner will be returning to the Phils next season in their same roles.  Samuel will once again be the 1st Base Coach and Joyner will return as Assistant Hitting Coach.  It was reported that Joyner would not be returning but that was obviously not the case.

Roster Changes:

Four players were outrighted to Triple A yesterday.  The players are Casper Wells (Outfield), Roger Bernadina (Outfield), Cesar Jimenez (Left Handed Relief Pitcher) and J.C. Ramirez (Right Handed Relief Pitcher).  John Lannan was also offered an opportunity to go to Triple A but he declined the assignment and is now a free agent.

** Update:  Casper Wells, Roger Bernadina and J.C. Ramirez declined to go to Triple A and are now free agents.

John Lannan Hurts Left Knee - May Be Done For Season

Hi everybody,

Phillies starting pitcher John Lannan left last night's game against the Atlanta Braves in the second inning with an injury to his left knee.  It is the same knee that Lannan hurt earlier in the year.  That injury put him on the DL (Disabled List) for two months.  It is quite possible that Lannan may be done for the season.  I want to wish John Lannan a speedy recovery.

John Lannan Returns to the Rotation

Hi everybody,

Phillies starting pitcher John Lannan returns to the rotation tomorrow (June 17th) when he gets the start against the Washington Nationals.  Lannan has been on the disabled list since April 18th with a strained quadriceps tendon in his left knee.  He replaces Tyler Cloyd in the rotation.  It will be good to see Lannan again and I want to wish him luck in his start tomorrow.
