Phillies Activate Lou Trivino, Option Chase Shugart
Philadelphia adds veteran reliever Lou Trivino to the active roster, filling the final 40-man spot vacated by Bryse Wilson's DFA.
The Phillies officially selected the contract of right-handed reliever Lou Trivino, bringing him to the major league roster. Chase Shugart was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley as the corresponding move. Trivino, 34, had previously signed a minor league deal with Philadelphia, opted out, signed a big league deal with Baltimore, was DFA'd after allowing six runs in three innings, and then re-signed with the Phillies on a new minor league deal. He fills the last open spot on the 40-man roster following Bryse Wilson's DFA last week.
