Ricardo Pinto: Reaches free agency

The Phillies released Pinto on Aug. 12.

After getting called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in early April to make his MLB debut, Pinto made six appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen, picking up one save but logging a 10.97 ERA and 2.25 WHIP across 10.2 innings. He was outrighted off the 40-man roster in May and proceeded to turn in a 5.43 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 59.2 innings with Lehigh Valley before being cut loose.
