The Philadelphia Phillies may have the worst record in the major leagues, but they are still making moves.In a somewhat surprising transaction, the Phillies designated right-handed pitcher Jeanmar Gomez and outfielder Michael Saunders for assignment.They called up left-hander Hoby Milner and outfielder Cameron Perkins from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take their place on the roster.Gomez was the team's closer last season, when he recorded 37 saves, and is making $4.2 million this season. Gomez lost his closer's job early this season and has a 7.25 ERA in 18 appearances in 2017.Saunders was selected to the 2016 All-Star Game while playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. He was batting .298 with 16 homers at the break last season, although his numbers declined in the second half and he finished the season batting .253 with 24 homers.Signed as a free agent by the Phillies in the offseason, Saunders is making $9 million, but is hitting just .205 with six homers. He has four hits in his last 40 at-bats.It suggests the Phillies are ridding themselves of veterans in an attempt to rebuild.Hoby was 1-2 with a 2.60 ERA for Lehigh Valley this season, while Perkins was hitting .298 with six homers.The Phillies also placed Jerad Eickhoff on the 10-day disabled list with an upper back strain.Eickhoff, 26, went 11-14 with a 3.65 ERA last season, but he is 0-7 with a 4.81 ERA this year.The Phillies have not yet decided how they will fill Eickhoff's spot in the rotation.To replace Eickhoff on the roster, the Phillies called up first baseman Brock Stassi from Lehigh Valley. Stassi hit just .197 in an earlier stint with the Phillies this season.
