"The Phillies announced they've selected infielder Rafael Lantigua onto the big league roster."
"He replaces Edmundo Sosa, who heads to the 10-day injured list (retroactive to September 13) with a right groin strain."
"Philly needed to create a spot on the 40-man roster for Lantigua, so they designated outfielder Brewer Hicklen for assignment."
Rafael Lantigua was selected to the Philadelphia Phillies' major-league roster as an infielder. He takes the roster spot of Edmundo Sosa, who was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to September 13 due to a right groin strain. To accommodate Lantigua on the 40-man roster, the Phillies designated outfielder Brewer Hicklen for assignment. The corresponding roster moves remove Hicklen from the 40-man roster and add Lantigua to the big-league roster. The injured-list placement for Sosa opens a short-term vacancy while the team adjusts depth across the infield and outfield.
