Phillies add pitchers Andrew Bellatti, James Norwood to roster

The Philadelphia Phillies added right-handers Andrew Bellatti and James Norwood to the active roster in advance of Thursday’s series opener against the Miami Marlins.

To make room on the active roster, right-hander Connor Brogdon and left-hander Damon Jones were optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. To open a spot on the 40-man roster, right-hander Sam Coonrod (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day injured list.

Bellatti, 30, has made just 20 major league appearances, including three with the Marlins last season. He is 3-1 with a 3.71 ERA.

Norwood, 28, who was activated from the bereavement list, has 28 career appearances. Like Bellatti, Norwood also is set to make his Phillies debut.

Brogdon, 27, made three appearances over the first week of the season and had a 9.00 ERA.

Jones, 27, made two appearances and had a 13.50 ERA.
