Phillies' Mitch Walding: Removed from 40-man roster

Walding was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Tuesday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Walding was booted from the 40-man to make room for Blake Parker, who will be available to pitch for Philadelphia on Tuesday. Walding made a brief appearance in the majors this season, though he struck out in both of his at-bats.
