Anthony Swarzak: Released by Phillies again

Swarzak was released by the Phillies on Monday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Swarzak had been released back in late June before immediately being re-signed, but it appears his release this time will be more permanent. The 34-year-old is coming off a pair of seasons in which he recorded ERAs of 6.15 and 4.56, with FIPs well above 5.00 in both seasons, making him unlikely to be a particularly appealing option on the open market.
