Bellati cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Analysis: The right-hander was designated for assignment by Philadelphia last week but will remain in the organization after he passed through waivers unclaimed. Bellati will still join the Phillies for big-league camp after he posted a 5.11 ERA over 24.2 innings last year.
Andrew Bellatti DFA'd by Philly
Bellati was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Tuesday.
Analysis: Bellati made 27 appearances for the Phillies last season and was unimpressive with a 5.11 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings. The right-hander has no remaining minor-league options, so Philadelphia opted to removed him from the 40-man roster to clear space for trade-acquisition Michael Rucker.
