Trevor Plouffe News
After 15 long innings at Citizens Bank Park, the Philadelphia Phillies finally emerged with a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 16th. The decisive swing came off third baseman Trevor Plouffes bat after taking over for Maikel Franco. The 32-year-old journeyman ended the near-six hour game with a three-run blast off Kike Hernandez, the Dodgers position player who was beginning his first inning on the mound. This was Plouffes second hit since debuting for the Phillies earlier this month and he might not have a bigger one the rest of the way. The Phillies remain atop the NL East holding a one-game lead over the Atlanta Braves.
Veteran infielder Trevor Plouffe signed a minor league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies today after he was granted his release from the Texas Rangers. The 31-year-old signed with that club in February, but never reached the majors, eventually asking for his release. Plouffe, who spent his first seven seasons with the Minnesota Twins, is a lifetime .242 hitter, though he hit a measly .198 in 100 games between Oakland and Tampa Bay last season. With the Phillies, he also sees a tough road to the majors, as the club has a litany of fresh, young faces in their current infield.
Veteran third baseman Trevor Plouffe has been released by the Texas Rangers. Plouffe is reportedly considering his options and still may resign with Texas and accept an assignment with their Triple-A affiliate. At this point, unless another club becomes desperate for a bat with MLB experience, it is unlikely that other options will pop up for Plouffe. This confirms that the 31-year old has no value in fantasy leagues in 2018.
