The Phillies announced Monday that left-hander Ryan Sherriff has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list and been designated for assignment.
Sherriff, 32, joined the Phillies on a waiver claim over the winter. He’s yet to pitch at the big league level for the Phillies due to a shoulder strain that’s sidelined him for nearly the entire year. He posted strong numbers in his minor league rehab assignment, yielding four runs on 13 hits and seven walks with 18 strikeouts over the life of 18 1/3 innings (2.51 ERA). Matt Gelb of The Athletic tweets, however, that Sherriff’s velocity wasn’t where the team expected it to be as he worked his way back up.
Sherriff has pitched in parts of four big league seasons, working to a 3.65 ERA with a 18.7% strikeout rate, an 8.8% walk rate and a big 56% ground-ball rate in 44 1/3 innings for the Cardinals and the Rays. Philadelphia can look for trade partners between now and tomorrow’s 6pm ET deadline, or Sherriff can be placed on waivers at any point over the next week.

Sorry Ryan. There’s a new Sherriff in town.
I DFA’d the Sherriff…. but I did not DFA the deputy.
Hehe
“This town ain’t big enough for the two of us”
His place on the roster was filled by Bob Posse.
Welcome back! Get out…
It really is a crime that Ryan Sherriff has never pitched to Jacob Nottingham.
He had it maid.
Corresponding move coming. I wouldn’t mind a Bumgarner & Mark Melacon for R. Marchan & J. Ortiz (two older minor leaguers that would have a better opportunity to get to the majors in AZ) and a lottery ticket or two. Phillies could send back Familia to offset some salary. I’m sure AZ would love to get rid of those two contracts, and the Phils acquire two pitchers with post season track records. If the Phillies take on all of MadBum contract (for next year too) they can probably get him for a couple mid level prospects and a lottery ticket or two that I propose.
It is it’s own corresponding move. He was not on the 40 and still isn’t.
taking on $ & only giving up those 2 quasi prospects AND dumping familia would be MORE THAN acceptable. at least you are thinking outside the box of LETS TRADE OUR BEST 6 PROSPECTS FOR 6MONTHS-2 YRS OF AN OVERPRICED GUY AT THE TRADE DEADLINE.
One thing proven over and over again in baseball – track records mean absolutely nothing
In Philadelphia, there is no longer a SHERRIFF.
A MARSHALL is being sought.
Sherriff don’t like it. Rock the Casbah, rock the Casbah.
Very nice.
So his overall rehab numbers look fairly decent, but due to analytical nonsense, he gets DFA’d over Familia who can’t even handle mop up duty anymore…..makes sense. But hey what do I know about baseball. I mean I don’t have an ivy league degree and never had a movie starring Brad Pitt made about me so I have no room to talk.
Anyway I’m not going to shed a tear over this move…just like to point out how stupid the thinking is sometimes when it comes to this analytics garbage. Hopefully the Familia DFA is only a matter of when now and the team is working to reshuffle things for the stretch run. But if they come out of this deadline with no other significant moves and him still taking up a roster spot, it will be a disgrace.
I can’t see that happening, but Familia should have been DFA’d in June.
Familia should never been assigned.
Imagine if Jimmie sherfy and sheriff pitched out of the same pen. It would be like the stazney brothers Nordiques power play ca. 1970s
