The Phillies on Friday claimed left-handed pitcher Patrick Schuster off waivers from the Oakland Athletics and optioned him to Triple A Lehigh Valley.
Schuster has made 5 appearances for the A's this season and it hasn't gone well. In 6 2/3 innings Schuster allowed eight runs on nine hits and walked six batters.
The 25-year-old Florida native was a 13th-round pick of the Diamondbacks in 2009. He's since been in many club's minor league systems, but made his big-league debut on July 6 of this season with Oakland.
He was having his best season for the A's affiliate in Nashville. He posted a 1.16 ERA in 32 relief appearances, striking out 39 hitters in 38 2/3 innings.
