Phillies' Seth Johnson: Returns to Triple-A
The Philadelphia Phillies optioned Seth Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.Johnson's stay in Philadelphia will last just one start, as he'll head back to Triple-A after he was lit up for nine earned runs over 2.1 innings during his MLB debut in Sunday's 10-1 loss to the Marlins. The Phillies recalled left-hander Tyler Gilbert to provide some extra coverage in the bullpen in the short term, but it's not immediately clear whom Philadelphia might turn to as Johnson's replacement in the rotation.

Phillies' Seth Johnson: Blasted in debut
Seth Johnson (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Marlins.Johnson's major-league debut did not go as planned, as he allowed 11 batters to reach base and nine runs to score while collecting only seven outs. The right-handed newcomer was acquired from Baltimore prior to the trade deadline and was given the opportunity after allowing just one run across 16 innings spanning three starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Johnson presumably had an opportunity to secure a longer look from the Philadelphia Phillies had he shown some effectiveness, but it's tough to see him getting another opportunity after such a rough performance.

Orioles' Seth Johnson: Moved to 60-day IL
Seth Johnson (elbow) will open the year on the 60-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk.Though he's listed on Norfolk's roster, Johnson has never pitched above the High-A level. Johnson would likely head to High-A or Double-A if he can ramp up before the end of the minor-league season. The hard-throwing righty underwent Tommy John surgery last August just after getting traded from the Rays to the Baltimore Orioles as part of the three-team trade that sent Trey Mancini to Houston and Jose Siri to Tampa Bay. Johnson has late-inning stuff if he needs to move to the bullpen due to durability issues. With the move to the 60-day IL, Johnson doesn't count against Baltimore's 40-man roster.
