Following a brutal 13-3 loss on Monday night against the rival New York Mets, the Phillies have made multiple changes to their bullpen as their pair of offseason acquisitions continued to fail them.
The Phillies released Joe Ross on Tuesday and placed Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list due to right middle finger inflammation.
Replacing Ross and Romano in manager Rob Thomson's bullpen will be right-hander Daniel Robert, who has made 12 appearances for the Phillies this season, and 33-year-old righty Lou Trivino, a local product with a 4.42 ERA across 38.2 innings this season for the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. Trivino signed a minor-league deal with the Phillies earlier this month and has thrown 7.0 scoreless frames at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
