• Phillies' Griff McGarry: Returns from IL

  07/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Triple-A Lehigh Valley reinstated McGarry (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Friday. McGarry had been on the shelf since May 24 with the unspecified injury, but he was cleared to rejoin Lehigh Valley coming out of the All-Star break after he struck out two over a scoreless inning in his lone rehab appearance July 13 with High-A Jersey Shore. Over his 14 relief appearances with Lehigh Valley on the season, McGarry has posted a 3.57 ERA and 25:15 K:BB across 17.2 innings.

• Phillies' Griff McGarry: Deactivated at Triple-A

  06/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Triple-A Lehigh Valley placed McGarry on its 7-day injured list May 24 with an unspecified injury. McGarry's last appearance came May 18 against Norfolk, when he walked four batters and recorded just three outs. The injury could have played a part in his poor form in that outing, though poor control has been a hallmark of McGarry's statistical profile through every stop of the minors. The 24-year-old reliever has turned in a 3.57 ERA but has walked 15 batters over 17.2 innings at Lehigh Valley this season.

• Phillies' Griff McGarry: Moving to bullpen at Triple-A

  03/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Phillies reassigned McGarry to minor-league camp Monday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Manager Rob Thomson also noted that McGarry will be used as a reliever this season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 24-year-old holds a career 34.6 percent strikeout rate and 15.9 percent walk rate during his time in the minors while being used mostly as a starter, so a move to relief doesn't come as much of a surprise. Thomson added that the move isn't necessarily permanent.

  McGarry (side) struck out two and allowed one run on one hit and one walk in two innings in his first start of the season for Double-A Reading. The 23-year-old righty made one rehab appearance, striking out two in one inning for Single-A Clearwater earlier this month. Now that he is fully healthy after suffering an oblique injury in spring training, McGarry will set his sights on showcasing starter-level command and control after walking 53 batters in 87.1 innings last season.

• Phillies' Griff McGarry: Starts up rehab assignment

  05/10/2023 • By RotoWire

  McGarry (side) began a rehab assignment last week with Single-A Clearwater and gave up one run on one hit while striking out two in a one-inning start Friday. McGarry has resided on Double-A Reading's 7-day injured list all season due to side tightness, so the Phillies will likely have him ramp up slowly in the lower minors over the course of another rehab start or two before he's deemed ready for Eastern League action. The 23-year-old right-hander split time between three levels in 2022, pitching to a 3.71 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 130:53 K:BB over 87.1 innings.
