Joining big-league bullpen The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Johnson opened the season as a member of Lehigh Valley's rotation but transitioned into a bullpen role in late April. He's had mixed results as a reliever at Triple-A, striking out 20 batters over 14.2 innings out of the bullpen but also issuing 10 walks and posting a 5.52 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. Though he still received his first big-league call-up of the season, Johnson is likely to be deployed mostly in lower-leverage spots while he's up with the Phillies.

Shifts to bullpen at Triple-A Johnson has been moved to a relief role at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson made his first appearance out of the bullpen Tuesday, touching 98 mph across two scoreless innings with a 2:2 K:BB. The 26-year-old has a big arm but has struggled to stay healthy and throw strikes consistently, so the Phillies' decision to shift him to a relief role makes sense.

Returns to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Johnson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

The Phillies recalled left-hander Tyler Gilbert to provide some extra coverage in the bullpen in the short term, but it's not immediately clear whom Philadelphia might turn to as Johnson's replacement in the rotation.

Blasted in debut Johnson (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Marlins.

Impact Johnson's major-league debut did not go as planned as he allowed 11 batters to reach base and nine runs while collecting only seven outs. The right-handed newcomer who was acquired from Baltimore prior to the trade deadline and was given the opportunity after allowing just one run across 16 innings spanning three starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Johnson presumably had an opportunity to secure a longer look from the Phillies had he shown some effectiveness but it's tough to see him getting another opportunity after such a rough performance.

Moves to Double-A Johnson (elbow) was promoted from High-A Aberdeen to Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Johnson missed most of this season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He's allowed four runs and posted a 10:3 K:BB over 7.1 innings across the lowest three levels of the minors. With Aberdeen's season coming to an end, Johnson will get a few more appearances at Bowie to wrap up the campaign.

Rehabbing in FCL Johnson (elbow) began a rehab assignment with the Orioles' Florida Complex League affiliate, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact Johnson was acquired last August as part of a three-team trade and subsequently underwent Tommy John surgery. He hasn't been ruled out for the year, but the right-hander will likely need multiple weeks of rehab appearances before settling in at either High-A Aberdeen or Double-A Bowie to close out the campaign.

Moved to 60-day IL Johnson (elbow) will open the year on the 60-day injured list.

Impact He is listed at Triple-A Norfolk, but having never pitched above High-A, Johnson would likely head to High-A or Double-A if he can ramp up before the end of the minor-league season. The hard-throwing righty underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2022 just after getting traded from the Rays to the Orioles as part of the three-team trade that sent Trey Mancini to Houston and Jose Siri to Tampa Bay. Johnson has late-inning stuff if he needs to move to the bullpen due to durability issues. With the move to the 60-day IL, Johnson doesn't count against Baltimore's 40-man roster.

He likely won't be ready to help the Orioles until the 2024 season.
