Optioned to minors
The Phillies optioned Mercado to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Mercado, whom the Phillies acquired from the Rays in November, occupies a spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster but has yet to make his big-league debut. He'll likely occupy a spot in Lehigh Valley's bullpen and will look to distinguish himself with the hope of earning a call-up to the Phillies.

Debut on horizon?
Mercado has a 0.63 ERA over 28.2 innings at Lehigh Valley this season and could be called up for his MLB debut this summer, per Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old hasn't posted an ERA below 4.00 since rookie ball and wasn't considered a notable prospect when acquired by the Phillies in November, but he's put his best foot forward early in 2024. Mercado's 26:15 K:BB doesn't exactly match up with his elite run prevention this season, and some regression likely isn't far off. Still, the right-hander is already on the 40-man roster, so it's likely only a matter of time before he's called up for his MLB debut. The Phillies already have a sixth starter in Spencer Turnbull working out of the bullpen, so Mercado would likely be ticketed for long relief in the majors.
