Phillies Claim Pirates Relief Pitcher Juan Nicasio Off Waivers

Hi everybody,

The Phillies claimed right-handed relief pitcher Juan Nicasio (who is a Free Agent at the end of the season) off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday (August 31st).  The Phillies are responsible for the remainder of Nicasio's 2017 salary ($600,000) and he is expected to join the team in Miami before tonight's game against the Miami Marlins.  The Phils have designated Brock Stassi for assignment so they could make room for Nicasio on the 40-man roster.

Jerad Eickhoff Placed on the DL and is Probably Done For the Season

Hi everybody,

Phillies starting pitcher Jerad Eickhoff was placed on the 10-day DL (Disabled List) with nerve irritation in his right hand yesterday (August 31st).  The injury occurred during Eickhoff's last start against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday (August 30th) where he only pitched two innings in the first game of the doubleheader.

It is unknown if the injury is serious but it is thought that Eickhoff is probably done for the season.  A replacement in the starting rotation has not yet been named but relief pitcher Ricardo Pinto has been brought up from Triple A to take Eickhoff's place on the 25-man roster.
