BY SCOTT LAUBERCHICAGO -- Given their choice, the Phillies would've preferred that Drew Carpenter not pitch last night against the Mets.
He did.
And although Carpenter pitched a scoreless ninth inning, he is a starter by trade and probably wouldn't have been able to pitch again for several days. So, he has been optioned to Class AA Reading. Left-hander Fabio Castro has been recalled from Class AAA Lehigh Valley.
Castro, 21, was 8-2 with a 4.40 ERA in 27 appearances (16 starts) for Reading, 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA in three appearances (two starts) for Lehigh Valley. For Castro, the biggest obstacle always has been control. In 110-1/3 innings at Reading, he walked 46 batters. In 10 innings at Lehigh Valley, he walked six.
More later from Wrigley.
