Francisco Butto Profile

Right-hander Francisco Butto found himself back at Double-A Reading on Friday, but it's likely going to be a temporary reassignment. With Reading starters Kyle Drabek and Yohan Flande set to take part in the Futures Game on Sunday, Butto was reassigned from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to Reading, helping to fill the pitching void for the R-Phils.
