Joe Savery Profile

Joe Savery, who recorded 12 wins at Double-A Reading this season, is headed for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Savery was drafted by the Phillies in the first round of the 2007 season and will likely make his first start for the IronPigs on Sunday.

Savery's promotion comes at an odd time, since he is coming off three straight losses, posting a 10.93 ERA in those starts. Prior to that, Savery was 12-1 and had a 3.48 ERA.

Savery is taking Carlos Carrasco's spot in the rotation after he was dealt to the Cleveland Indians organization on Wednesday.
