"León was once a highly-regarded amateur signee out of Cuba based on his power-speed combination. That has been undercut by strikeout issues that have made him an average Triple-A hitter."
"Philadelphia released León on Saturday when they selected infielder Felix Reyes onto the roster. León had been placed on the minor league injured list with a right hamstring strain a couple weeks ago."
The Phillies re-signed outfielder León to a minor league contract, placing him back with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He was released after being on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The team still values him as a depth option but needed to clear a roster spot. León has a .283 batting average with 19 strikeouts in 53 plate appearances. His overall Triple-A stats show a .253/.354/.443 line across over 400 games, with limited MLB experience from two years ago.
