The Phillies optioned pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. The Cuban righthander didn’t live up to expectations this Spring, allowing 12 earned runs–as well as five home runs and 25 hits–over 14.1 innings. He’ll start the season in the minors again, which is a disappointment.
In addition to the MAG demotion, the Phillies optioned pitcher Hector Neris to Lehigh Valley, and reassigned pitcher Paul Clemens, catcher Koyie Hill, and infielders Chris McGuiness and Chris Nelson to minor league camp.
