Hanigan was released by the Phillies on Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hanigan's dismissal means that the Phillies will go with prospect Andrew Knapp as their main backup at catcher behind Cameron Rupp. The 36-year-old veteran has been renowned throughout his career for his receiving skills, so it's possible another team could have interest bringing him aboard as a No. 2 catcher.
