EDGE Analysis

Vierling joined the major-league roster for the first time after his contract was selected by the Phillies on Saturday, and he went 3-for-6 with a run, a stolen base and two strikeouts while serving mainly in a depth role. He'll now head back to the minors as part of a transaction to make room for right-hander Enyel De Los Santos on the 26-man roster.
