The Phillies reassigned infielders Aidan Miller and Carson Taylor, catcher Caleb Ricketts, outfielder Justin Crawford, and left-handed pitcher Tristan Garnett to minor league camp on Tuesday.
“As far as makeup and how they go about their business, how they fit into a major league clubhouse, I mean, their maturity is way beyond their age, so they held their own very well,” manager Rob Thomson said of Crawford and Miller.

The 21-year-old Crawford, who is ranked as the Phillies’ No. 3 prospect by MLB Pipeline, went 3-for-10 with a .717 OPS and also stole two bases. Miller, ranked as the Phillies’ No. 2 prospect, went hitless in 12 plate appearances this spring, although the 20-year-old did draw three walks.
Thomson said he talked to Miller about his slump a few days ago.
“He’s got a lot of confidence, and he knows he’s gonna hit,” Thomson said. “He knows he can hit. There are certain people I probably wouldn’t bring it up to. I knew that he could handle it.”
