Rotowire
Beato (hamstring) was designated for assignment Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The Phillies added some infield depth in a corresponding move Thursday, selecting Pedro Florimon's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Beato, who had been rehabbing from a hamstring injury, has been rather effective at the Triple-A level this season with a 2.72 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP across 46.1 innings there. He'll now be subject to waivers but could return to the Phillies if he goes unclaimed.

Phillies' Pedro Beato: Called up to majors
Rotowire
Beato was called up by the Phillies on Saturday.
Beato returns to the majors for the first time since 2014 after spending the past three seasons at Triple-A. He's enjoyed a good deal of success with Lehigh Valley this season, but the lack of swing and miss in his game (7.0 K/9 this year, career 5.7 K/9 in majors) will likely prevent him from ever advancing out of the middle innings.
The right-handed reliever rattled off a 2.65 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with 62 strikeouts for the Orioles' Triple-A Norfolk affiliate last year. Beato may carve out a decent role as a middle reliever or mop-up option for Philadelphia, though he'll have to wait in line to return to the big leagues.

Phillies' Pedro Beato: Signs minor league deal with Phillies
Rotowire
Beato signed a minor league contract with the Phillies on Saturday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline reports.
The 30-year-old right-hander made 65 relief appearances at Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles' organization last season, notching a 2.65 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with 62 strikeouts. While those are strong numbers, the fact that he's heading to the Phillies on a minor league deal suggests that it'll take some bullpen attrition at the major league level for him to be added to the 40-man roster.
