Beginning rehab assignment Song (back) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Single-A Clearwater.
Impact The expectation is that Song will remain on the farm throughout the full 30-day rehab window. He was a Rule 5 Draft pick this winter and the Phillies likely want to delay a decision on where he fits with their major-league club. The 26-year-old graduate from the United States Naval Academy has never pitched in a game at the MLB level.

Nearing rehab assignment Song (back) is on track to begin a rehab assignment next week, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Song has advanced to simulated games in his recovery from a lingering back injury and is about ready to return to live action on the farm. It'll probably be a lengthy minor-league rehab stint for the Rule 5 Draft pick as the Phillies sort out where he might fit on their active major-league roster. He has yet to appear in a big-league game at age 26.

Throws simulated game Song (back) threw a two-inning simulated game Tuesday, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact The right-hander is slated for another two-inning simulated game Thursday and is getting "pretty close to a rehab assignment," Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. A Rule 5 pick, Song seems likely to use the full 30-day allottment on his rehab assignment before the Phils consider adding him to the roster. Song spent the last two years serving in the Navy, so he has plenty of rust to knock off.

Nearing sim game action Song (back) will pitch in some simulated games next week, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Song was selected in the Rule 5 draft despite spending the last two years serving in the Navy rather than playing baseball. He's been dealing with back troubles since the middle of camp, and the Phillies haven't had any reason to rush him back given that they'd be required to carry him on the big-league roster. He continues to take steps towards is return, but the team hasn't stated when they expect that will happen.

Moved to 60-day IL The Phillies transferred Song (back) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Impact Song has been on the 15-day injured list since the beginning of the season due to back tightness. The 25-year-old righty began facing hitters again Thursday and is expected to return relatively soon; however, placing him on the 60-day IL frees up a roster spot for Cal Stevenson, who was claimed off waivers from San Francisco on Friday.

Facing hitters Song (back) is facing hitters at the Phillies' spring training facility in Clearwater, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Phillies selected Song in the 2022 Rule 5 Draft, which means that he'll need to be on the team's active roster within 30 days of beginning a rehab assignment to stay with the team. In addition, he has to be on the roster for at least 90 days across the entire season to remain in the organization. While he is still ramping up, president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski believes that Song will pitch competitively at some point this season. Once he returns, Song is expected to pitch out of the bullpen.

Throws bullpen session Song (back) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Song was selected by the Phillies in the Rule 5 draft despite the fact that he's been out of baseball for three years while serving in the Navy. Back tightness prevented him from making a case for the Opening Day roster, but his status as a Rule 5 pick means the Phillies will have to add him to the active roster once healthy despite his inexperience if they want to keep him in the organization.

Placed on 15-day IL Song (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
Impact Song transferred his Naval service from active duty to selective reserves back in February with the hope of claiming an Opening Day bullpen spot in Philadelphia, but that goal was derailed in March when he came down with some back tightness. There is no public timetable on the 25-year-old right-hander.

Shut down from throwing Song has been shut down from throwing due to back tightness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's unclear when Song may pick up a baseball again and a rehab plan probably won't come into focus until the results of his MRI are read. A Rule 5 pick in December, Song has been out of pro ball since 2019 as he completed a two-year commitment to the United States Naval Academy. He had his Naval service transferred from active duty to selective reserves in order to attend Phillies camp this spring.

Impact A Rule 5 draft pick in December, Song has reported to Phillies camp after having his Naval service transferred from active duty to selective reserves. He hasn't pitched in pro ball since 2019, and during a bullpen session last week Song said "it felt as if I hadn't been off the mound in three years." The Phils think he has loads of potential as a starter over the long haul, but there's not enough time to stretch him out before Opening Day. Song is a longshot to make Philadelphia's Opening Day roster, at which point he would go on waivers and could return to Boston.
