Daily News | Noah Song designated for assignment by Phillies, who must trade him or put him on waivers
Faced with a Saturday deadline to add Song to the active roster for the duration of the season — a stipulation that comes with having selected him in the Rule 5 draft last winter — the Phillies reinstated the 26-year-old right-hander from the 60-day injured list and designated him for assignment, ending his longshot bid to make his major league debut this season after not pitching competitively for three years while serving in the Navy.
The Phillies can trade Song, although his Rule 5 status would carry over to a new team and baseball’s trade deadline is approaching at 6 p.m. Tuesday. Otherwise, they must put him through waivers. If he clears — and officials from multiple clubs, including the Phillies, expect him to be claimed — the Phillies would have to offer him back to the Red Sox, his original team.It would have been easier for the Phillies to carry Song if they weren’t contending for a wild-card spot.
In eight appearances across three levels , Song allowed nine runs on 12 hits and 11 walks for a 7.36 ERA. His fastball velocity, which was in the upper-90s before he left baseball in 2019, was in the 92-94 mph range. None of this was surprising. Song’s path back to baseball is largely unprecedented. Only one Navy graduate has pitched in the majors since 1921, and Mitch Harris was able to rebuild his career in the minors after five years in the military before getting called up by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2015.Because Song represented a low-cost Powerball ticket. He opened eyes in a cameo in the Red Sox’s system in 2019, posting a 1.06 ERA in seven starts.
Song received his transfer at the end of February and reported to spring training in Clearwater, Fla. He began the season on the injured list with what the team characterized as a strained lower back. Once he was deemed healthy, he went on a minor league assignment that lasted a maximum of 30 days, ending Thursday and forcing the Phillies into a decision.
