Phillies optioned LHP Jeremy Horst, C Tommy Joseph, and OFs Tyson Gillies and Zach Collier to Triple-A Lehigh Valley; reassigned LHP Cesar Jimenez, RHP Ken Giles and INF Andres Blanco to minor league camp.
Horst had a legit shot to break camp had he pitched well, but he didn't (9.64 ERA) and the Phillies look to be going with Jake Diekman as their second left-hander. None of the other cuts had a real chance to make the team.
