Cameron Rupp Released By Phillies
7 years agoOne day after designating him for assignment to make room for Drew Hutchison, the Philadelphia Phillies officially released Cameron Rupp, ending his tenure with the club. The 29-year-old played a significant number of games for the club the past three seasons, enjoying his best campaign in 2016. That year, he took part in 105 games, hitting .252 with 16 home runs and 54 RBI, all career highs. Last season, however, he didn’t see improvements, instead declining in quality. This year, he entered Spring Training in a fight for the backup catcher role, as Jorge Alfaro was the clear starter for the club. Rupp’s struggles continued, resulting in his release.
