Vierling adds versatility, interim manager Rob Thomson said, adding that he can play “anywhere in the outfield or the corner infield spots. At second base, he looks pretty smooth out there. He’s an athlete. He moves around well; he’s got a lot of tools. He’s got a lot of value for us.”from triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, when he hit a pinch-hit home run off of reliever Josh Hader to give the Phillies a 3-2 win over the Brewers.
Maton is on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 4 with a right shoulder strain, and Camargo is on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Monday with a right knee strain. Thomson said that both infielders are making progress but aren’t ready to return yet.
