Phillies bring back 40-year-old reliever David Robertson
Robertson made six relief appearances with Lehigh Valley, and had a 10.13 ERA, though he had four scoreless outings. He struck out six, walked one and allowed 11 hits and six runs in 5 1/3 innings.
The Phillies made the move before their series finale at Texas, where Robertson was 3-4 with a 3.00 ERA in 68 games last season.
Right-hander Alan Rangel was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the 26-man roster.
Over his 16-year major league career, Robertson, has a 2.91 ERA in 861 games, all but one of those in relief. This is his third stint with the Phillies, first as a free agent before the 2019 season and then after being acquired in a trade from the Chicago Cubs in 2022. He played nine seasons with the Yankees over two different times in New York, which drafted him in the 17th round of the 2006 amateur draft.

Legendary football coach returns to the sidelines as Alabama school names him interim coach
Legendary football coach returns to the sidelines as Alabama school names him interim coach originally appeared on The Sporting News One of the legendary, albeit controversial, high school head football coaches in the country is going to lead another team in the 2025 season. Rush Propst, who has guided programs in Alabama and Georgia, has been named the interim coach at Coosa Christian, located in Gadsden, Ala. He is taking over for head coach Mark O'Bryant, who was recently suspended for the 2025 season, confirming that in an interview with O'Bryant led the Conquerors to a 9-1 record in '24 but was banned in the postseason and had to forfeit five games due to the use of an ineligible player. Because of the school suspending O'Bryant, the Alabama High School Athletic Association lifted the imposed postseason ban, meaning the Conquerors are eligible for the playoffs should they qualify. Now, Coosa Christian turns its program temporarily over to someone who, though extremely successful, has a checkered past himself. Propst has won 296 career games along with seven state championships. He may be well known for his tenure at another Alabama school, Hoover, where he won five state titles from 1999-2007. The program was also featured on the MTV documentary series Two-A-Days, which filmed for two of the Buccaneers' seasons. However, Propst resigned at Hoover in 2007 in the wake of the program having to forfeit several wins due to using an ineligible player. He later coached at Georgia schools Colquitt County and Valdosta, as well as another Alabama school, Pell City. While at Colquitt County, during a 2015 playoff game, Propst head-butted one of his players, which initially led to him being suspended for the 2016 season, though the decision was eventually appealed. Propst resigned at Pell City following the 2023 season - his only season there - after the team went 1-10. Now, Propst gets another chance to lead a team, while perhaps getting the opportunity to record his 300th career win.
