Phillies protect pitchers Abel, Chace, and Cabrera on 40-man roster ahead of Rule 5 Draft.

The Philadelphia Phillies added pitchers Mick Abel, Moisés Chace, and Jean Cabrera to their 40-man roster to protect them from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. Abel, despite a rough 2024 season, was their first-round pick in 2020. Chace and Cabrera are also young prospects the team values. The Phillies left other notable pitchers, Griff McGarry and Eiberson Castellano, unprotected, exposing them to the draft. The Rule 5 Draft prevents teams from stashing young talent without adding them to the 40-man roster.
