Phillies' Elvis Araujo: Optioned to Lehigh Valley

Araujo was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Araujo strung together a handful of strong appearances to begin the month of August, but he self-destructed Tuesday, allowing six earned runs while recording just one out in a 15-5 loss to the Dodgers. He'll head down to Triple-A to get straightened out, and the team will bring up Frank Herrmann to fill his spot on the roster.
