Nick Maton Added To Phillies' World Series Roster
2 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies added shortstop Nick Maton and right-hander Nick Nelson to their World Series roster against the Houston Astros this week. In corresponding moves, left-hander Bailey Falter and infielder/outfielder Dalton Guthrie were removed from the World Series roster. Maton will give the Phils another left-handed bat off the bench. In 72 regular season at-bats, he hit .250 (18-for-72) with five home runs, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored in his second big-league season. Nelson has pitched in two playoff games back in 2020 with the New York Yankees. He'll likely operate in middle relief after posting a 4.85 ERA (3.04 FIP), a 1.48 WHIP, one save and 69 strikeouts in 68 2/3 innings over 47 outings (two starts) during the regular season.
