The Phillies released Roberts from minor league camp, Paul Hagen of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts was claimed off waivers from the Rockies last season. He made six appearances for the Phillies last season. He should be able to find a minor league deal with another club.

Roberts was outrighted off the Phillies' 40-man roster Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts bounced around the majors in 2015, first starting out with the Rockies before being claimed off waivers by the Phillies in August. In six appearances with Philadelphia, Roberts gave up five runs on nine hits --- results that ultimately pushed his career into limbo once again. If he passes through waivers he will likely provide pitching depth for the organization.

Roberts will be recalled in advance of Tuesday's game against the Braves, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claimed off waivers at the end of August, Roberts was initially assigned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He'll join the Phillies' now-expanded roster and look to turnaround what has been largely a disastrous season. Roberts began the year with the Rockies' organization but posted an ugly 5.12 ERA and 1.73 WHIP before being DFA'd on August 28.

Roberts was claimed off waivers by the Phillies and assigned to Triple-A Lehigh on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts has had his struggles in 2015, but the rebuilding Phillies are probably okay with taking a flier on him and seeing if he can recover some of his mid-tier prospect luster.

Roberts was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts has struggled mightily in 2015, posting a 5.12 ERA and 1.73 WHIP over 31.2 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque, and even worse numbers in his small stint with the Rockies. As a result, he's been removed from the 40-man roster, further distancing him from a return to the major league roster.
