On Monday, the Philadelphia Phillies are set to begin a series against the San Diego Padres in California.
The Phillies are coming off a 3-1 home loss to the Cleveland Guardians, losing two of three games in that series.
Philadelphia Phillies Release 4-Year Player
Ahead of Monday’s game, the Phillies released a player from their organization, according to MiLB.com.
Sergio Alcántara, who was on a minor league contract, will now become a free agent.
In 35 Triple-A games this season, Alcántara was batting .223 with 25 hits, two home runs, 13 RBIs, 23 runs scored, and four stolen bases.
Alcántara’s MLB Career
Alcántara played his first two seasons with the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs. He also had stints with the Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, and San Francisco Giants. Most recently, the 29-year-old appeared in one game for the Giants last year.
Over 193 career MLB games, he has a .207 average with 93 hits, 12 home runs, 47 RBIs, 58 runs, and four stolen bases.
It will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on him before the end of the 2026 season.
