Phillies' reliever Worrell comes off DL

Worrell had been sidelined since early May due to personal psychological reasons.

The Phillies made room for him by designating pitcher Amaury Telemaco for assignment. The team has 10 days to trade, release or send him to the minors if he clears waivers. Telemaco is 0-1 with a 4.22 ERA in seven appearances this season.

The right-handed Worrell has also struggled this season, posting an 0-1 mark with a 9.82 ERA in 14 appearances.
