"Phillies Designate Navy Veteran Noah Song, What's Next?"

The Philadelphia Phillies have designated Navy veteran Noah Song for assignment, giving the Boston Red Sox the option to take him back if he clears waivers. Song, a right-handed pitcher, was acquired by the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft with hopes that he would play after completing his military service. However, he struggled in the minor leagues and had not pitched in a professional game since 2019. The Phillies, currently in the NL wild-card race, decided not to use a roster spot on a pitcher who hadn't played in any baseball game before this season.
