Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez Promoted to Triple-A

With Cliff Lee going on the disabled list, the Phillies recalled Cesar Jimenez from Triple-A. To fill Jimenez's spot on the IronPigs roster, the Phils promoted Cuban pitcher, Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez, to Triple-A. 

The Phillies have promoted Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez to Triple A. He has found success and health as reliever.

After having early season injury problems, Gonzalez has come back and impressed in the Phillies organization. His fastball has reached 95mph and he posted a 3.14 ERA in 11 games for the Reading Fightin' Phils. His control has also showed improvement, striking out 24 and walking seven in his time in Double-A while holding opponents to a .192 average against. 

The promotion of Gonzalez could mean that we may see him come September, when rosters are expanded. Overall this season between Clearwater and Reading, MAG is 0-4 with a 3.94 ERA.
