Daily News | Red Sox 9, Phillies 5: Former prospect Hans Crouse resurfaces in minor-league pitching parade
And then came Hans Crouse.
Remember Crouse? Two years ago, the Phillies acquired the right-hander with the funky delivery from the Rangers with Kyle Gibson in the deadline trade for prospect Spencer Howard. Crouse made two starts down the stretch in 2021, then got injured last year and was removed from the 40-man roster.Phillies’ best bench bets include Darick Hall as DH and Scott Kingery in the minors.
It’s unclear what the future holds for Crouse. He was limited to five starts last year at triple-A Lehigh Valley because of elbow issues. Manager Rob Thomson said he hasn’t been briefed on whether Crouse will be a starter or reliever, an indication that the 24-year-old isn’t prominent on the team’s depth chart.Right-handed reliever Luis Ortiz, an offseason waiver claim from the Giants, made the start and gave up one run in two innings. He figures to provide multi-inning depth in triple A.
