August 2019 Phillies Minor League Transactions

In the somewhat interesting short season category, our Italian pitcher (Samuel Aldegheri) was assigned to GCL East. He is still 17 so younger than most of our Euro signees. He was part of this year's J2 class (2019) but was old enough to play immediately I guess.

And Victor Vargas who has been solid this year (1.44 ERA) but has not missed too many bats (15 Ks in 25 IP) was promoted to Williamsport. Should be a good test for the 18-year-old.

if he has any kind of serious labrum tear, I can't imagine he'd have been making throws across the diamond.

So not an old injury, since 11 of last dozen games he started were at 3B -- right up to the end of July.

We signed Nick Hundley to a minor league deal for LHV today.

Insurance for September I imagine and they are thinner after the Bossart deal. I suppose he could be in the mix for a September callup if they do not want to start the Grullon service time clock though Grullon is probably going to be protected on the 40 in the Fall anyway. Not sure he is good enough any more to be a threat to Knapp.
