Right-handed pitcher Noah Song was discharged from the Navy and will report to Phillies spring training camp on Thursday, the team announced on Wednesday.
selected by the Phillies from the Red Sox
Because Song is on Major League Baseball’s military list, he won’t be counted against the 40-man roster until opening day. If he makes the team out of spring training, Song will be placed on the Phillies’ 26-man roster. If he doesn’t make the team, he will be traded or placed on waivers. Song can be placed on the injured list, or the bereavement list, or the paternity list, but he cannot be optioned.Song was selected by the Red Sox in the fourth round of the 2019 MLB draft.
The selection of Song was not one without risk. He hasn’t pitched professionally since 2019. The Phillies will get a better sense of where he’s at physically on Thursday and over the next few weeks of camp.Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he is probably going to make a decision on reliever Gregory Soto playing in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic over the next few days. Soto has not reported to camp yet because of visa issues.
