Felix Reyes Called Up, Jhoan Duran to 15-Day IL
The Phillies announced five roster moves ahead of Saturday night's game vs. the Atlanta Braves.
www.crossingbroad.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Felix Reyes was called up by the Philadelphia Phillies and made his MLB debut on or around April 17–18, 2026, after contracts were finalized from the minor leagues. He was expected to serve as a bench/utility option and appeared in left field in his debut, slotting into the Phillies’ lineup against Atlanta.[2][3][5]
- The roster move followed the Phillies placing Jhoan Duran on the 15-day injured list and optioning Otto Kemp, with Reyes taking a roster spot and wearing number 29. Early minor-league performance had suggested strong hitting at Lehigh Valley (.333/.345/.654 with six homers in 84 PAs) before his call-up.[5][2]
- Local coverage highlighted Reyes as a multi-position depth option (first base, third base, corner outfield) and noted he could replace struggling bench players as he transitions to MLB action.[3][2]
If you’d like, I can pull more detail on his minor-league numbers, or summarize each source with a quick, cited timeline.
