Phillies' Hector Neris: Earns 19th hold

Neris earned his 19th hold of the season Thursday with a scoreless inning against the Braves.

Analysis:

Neris has six holds this month with a 1.86 ERA and a 13:1 K:BB in 9.2 innings. There is a chance the Phillies could try to cash in on his success this season and move him for a package of prospects if they can get something similar to the return on Ken Giles this past offseason. If the Phils move closer Jeanmar Gomez at the trade deadline and Neris stays, he'll be in the mix to take over the ninth inning job.
