Phillies put struggling reliever Jordan Romano on injured list and release Joe Ross
The Phillies reshaped their bullpen after a 13-3 loss, placing Jordan Romano on the injured list with finger inflammation and releasing Joe Ross, both having high ERAs this season.
- The Phillies reshaped their bullpen Tuesday by recalling right-handed pitchers Daniel Robert and Lou Trivino from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and releasing right-handed pitcher Joe Ross.

- Thomson said he plans to deploy Lou Trivino and Daniel Robert for multiple innings to stabilize late-game work, while the Philadelphia Phillies maintain a six-game NL East lead.
- The club's decision reflects concerns as Jordan Romano, signed to serve as a reliable high-leverage arm, has faltered this year, contrasting his 2021-23 saves and 2024 limited action.
