Phillies put lefty Smith on waivers
The Phillies made room on their 40-man roster for outfielder So Taguchi yesterday when they put lefthander Matt Smith on waivers.
Smith, 28, opened last season with the Phillies but had an 11.25 earned run average after nine appearances. He went 2-1 with a 2.60 ERA in 16 appearances for triple-A Ottawa, but underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery July 3. He has been in a rehabilitation program in the off-season.
The Phillies acquired Smith in 2006 in the Bobby Abreu trade.
Also, pitchers Joe Bisenius and J.A. Happ, and catcher Jason Jaramillo will participate in this year's Rookie Career Development Program Thursday to Sunday.
