Jacob Diekman - R - Phillies

Phillies purchased the contract of LHP Jacob Diekman from Double-A Reading.

Diekman has emerged as a solid relief prospect since moving to the bullpen full-time last year. He boasted a 3.05 ERA and 11.5 K/9 rate for Reading this season, but walks continued to be an issue for him, as he held a 6.1 BB/9 mark. The 24-year-old is now protected from the Rule 5 draft.
