Prior to tonight’s game against the Washington Nationals, the Phillies selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert from triple-A Lehigh Valley. To make room for him on the 26-man roster, right-handed pitcher Tyler Phillips was optioned to Lehigh Valley and to make room for him on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitcher Spencer Turnbull was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski made the announcement.

After being acquired by the Phillies in a minor league trade with Cincinnati on May 7, he made 27 relief appearances with Lehigh Valley and has gone 4-0 with a 2.06 ERA (8 ER, 35.0 IP) with 48 strikeouts to six walks, while posting a 1.03 WHIP (30 hits) and converting all seven of his save opportunities. Gilbert made 28 appearances (13 starts) for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2021-23, including a complete-game shutout, and overall had a 4.32 ERA (44 ER, 91.2 IP). Gilbert will wear No. 40.

The Santa Cruz, Calif., native was originally selected by the Phillies in the sixth round of the 2015 MLB Draft.
