Deivy Grullon's short Phillies career came to an end on Thursday when the Red Sox claimed the young catcher off waivers.  His 40-man roster spot was needed when the Phillies made a flurry of roster moves on August 31st.

Grullon appeared in four games for the Phillies last season, collecting a hit in 9 at-bats (.111) and starting the penultimate game of the season behind the plate on September 28th.

Grullon was apparently passed by on the team's catching depth chart by Rafael Marchan, who really impressed Phillies manager Joe Girardi during spring training.
