Phillies purchased the contract of RHP Jeff Manship from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Manship, a non-roster invitee, 1.80 ERA and 16/2 K/BB ratio over 20 frames this spring. He'll likely function as a long reliever to begin the year.

Jeff Manship picked up his first win of the spring after allowing one run in five innings against the Astros on Thursday. Manship and David Buchanan both got starts in split-squad games today as they battle for the fifth spot in Philadelphia's rotation.

Neither is any sort of ideal option for the Phillies while Cole Hamels is out, but Buchanan seems like the better choice.

Jeff Manship allowed two runs and six hits over four innings Friday against the Pirates. Manship is one of the candidates to open the season in the Phillies' rotation with Cole Hamels out.
