Phillies' Mitch Walding: Heads to big leagues

Walding was called up from Triple-A Lehigh on Wednesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Walding will get a shot in the major leagues after hitting .271 with seven home runs and 21 RBI through 48 games at Triple-A. The 25-year-old was called up after Pedro Florimon (foot) was placed on the disabled list. He will likely play primarily off the bench.
