Adams to the DL, Giles Called Up

6/7/2014

A trade piece went down on Saturday, as the Phillies placed reliever Mike Adams on the DL with inflammation in his right rotator cuff.

The Phillies called up right-hander Ken Giles to take Adams' spot in the bullpen, giving the organization a chance to get a good look at the most exciting pitching prospect in the Phillies' system.

Giles, who has a fastball that hits triple digits, has been on a tear in 2014. The 23-year-old began the season with Double-A Reading, compiling a 1.20 ERA and striking out 29 batters in 15 innings of work, resulting in a prompt promotion to Triple-A.

The young reliever hasn't slowed down since arriving in Lehigh Valley, posting a 2.63 ERA and striking out nine in 13 2/3 innings with the Iron Pigs.

Giles will have big shoes to fill in replacing Adams on the roster, as the veteran right-hander has gone 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA in 19 appearances this season.

Perhaps worse than losing Adams from the roster, however, is the fact that he would appear to be one of the Phillies' biggest trade pieces.

With yet another injury to his name, Adams' value has likely taken a hit.
