Phillies' Yoervis Medina: Not present at Phillies camp Wednesday
Medina was not present when pitchers and catchers reported to Phillies camp Wednesday due to a visa issue that could take a couple of weeks to resolve, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
Medina was acquired by the Phillies in a trade that sent former first-round draft pick Jesse Biddle to the Pirates. The right-hander primarily played in Triple-A in the Cubs organization last season, but is expected to vie for a bullpen spot with the major league club this spring. This will definitely hamper his ability to do so, as he now could be gone until March.

Medina is the piece headed to Philadelphia, where he'll try to compete for a spot in the very youthful Phillies bullpen, although could very likely spend most of 2016 with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
