May 2024 - Philadelphia Phillies Wiretap
The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired left-hander Tyler Gilbert from the Cincinnati Reds, according to a report.
The report seems to indicate that the Reds will receive cash considerations in return.
Gilbert wasn't on the Reds' 40-man roster and therefore won't need a roster spot with the Phillies.
Gilbert, 30, signed a minor league deal with the Reds in the offseason.
The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies have the best record in baseball at 24-11 entering Monday's action. It is the franchise's best start through 35 games since 1995, when they also went 24-11.
The club's strength this season has been starting pitching. The Phillies' rotation has a 2.65 ERA, the second-best mark in the Major Leagues.
"Every time they go out, they've been absolutely lights out," Bryce Harper said.
"Whenever you have that, the ability to win is way higher. Right?"
Trea Turner will miss at least six weeks with a left hamstring strain after being injured in the fourth inning of Philadelphia's 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants on Friday.
The Phillies placed the two-time All-Star shortstop on the 10-day injured list Saturday, but Turner said he'll need more time.
