Phillies cut ties with ex-Cardinals, Cubs .682 OPS outfielder
The Philadelphia Phillies made a notable Triple-A roster move on Friday night, releasing a switch-hitting outfielder from his contract. Earlier this season, the 27-year-old played three games with the Chicago Cubs. According to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the NL East club has cut ties with Dylan Carlson. Carlson signed a minor league deal with the Phillies in May. In 40 games at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, the former St. Louis Cardinals top prospect hit .181/.307/.307 with four home runs and 18 RBIs. "Carlson was 11% better than league average in his first full season in the majors (2021). Since then, he’s consistently struggled to make meaningful contact," Charlie Wright of MLB Trade Rumors wrote. MORE: After 9 years in the minor leagues, a magical moment for Tigers catcher"Car
