Seth Johnson News: Sent back to minors

The Phillies optioned Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Johnson fanned five over two scoreless frames Monday against the Orioles and boasts a 17:4 K:BB over 12.2 innings with the big club this season, but having minor-league options worked against him here. Joe Ross (back) has been activated from the injured list to absorb Johnson's roster spot.
