Matt Manning News: Sent to Philadephia
The Phillies acquired Manning from the Tigers on Thursday in exchange for minor league outfielder Josueth Quinonez.
Manning was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Thursday, and the Phillies elected to secure him via trade rather than risk a waiver claim. To make room on the 40-man roster for the right-hander, the Phillies designated Devin Sweet for assignment. Philadephia assigned Manning to Single-A Clearwater.
