The Dodgers have signed Mike Lieberthal to a one-year deal.
Lieberthal had spent his entire career with the Phillies organization including a 16-game stint in 1991 with the playoff-bound Clearwater team. Lee Elia was his manager at the time.
Phillies catcher Sal Fasano joins the Clearwater Threshers today as part of his rehab assignment. He was put on the Phillies DL due to left knee inflammation.
In other player moves, pitcher Pat Overholt was promoted from Lakewood (A) yesterday to the Threshers. Also, pitcher Brian Reed was sent back to the Threshers from Reading (AA). Reed has already appeared in 14 games with the Threshers this year and has 6 saves.
Former Clearwater Thresher outfielder Chris Roberson was optioned to Scranton (AAA) after catcher Mike Lieberthal was activated from the DL.
According to Dennis Deitch in the Delco Times, Phillies catcher Mike Lieberthal has returned to Philadelphia and is not expected to make a return trip to Clearwater for rehab. He did not play any rehab games with the Threshers, but is expected to rehab with Reading or Scranton before he returns to the Phillies roster after the All-Star break.
