Philadelphia Phillies recall David Robertson, a $16M signing, to bolster their playoff push.

The Philadelphia Phillies recalled veteran reliever David Robertson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Robertson, 40, signed a one-year, $16 million contract with the team last month. He had a 10.13 ERA in six minor league appearances but was scoreless in four of them. The move comes as the Phillies lead the National League East by 4.5 games. Robertson will likely play a middle relief role, with the potential to be a key player in the postseason.
