Daily News | Phillies return Noah Song back to Red Sox after clearing waivers
Song cleared waivers Friday and was offered back to the Red Sox in accordance with the stipulations of being selected by the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft in December. Boston paid a $50,000 fee to the Phillies for taking back the 26-year-old right-hander.The Phillies picked up Song while he was still out of baseball and serving in the Navy. The former top prospect received a transfer to reserve duty in late February and reported to spring training in Clearwater, Fla.
Song began the season on the injured list with what the Phillies characterized as a strained lower back. He began a 30-day minor league assignment on June 28, and posted a 7.36 ERA with 12 hits and 11 walks in 11 innings over eight appearances. Song’s fastball velocity, previously in the upper-90s, ranged from 92-94 mph, typical considering his three-year layoff from the sport.
Because of his Rule 5 status, Song couldn’t be optioned to the minors at the end of the assignment. The Phillies, briefly optimistic that they might be able to stash him in the bullpen as a long reliever, designated him for assignment last Saturday. Once he cleared waivers, the Red Sox were able to reacquire him. They didn’t want to lose Song in the first place, especially after he had a 1.06 ERA in seven appearances at short-season Lowell in his pro debut in 2019.
