Pivetta was added to Philadelphia's 40-man roster Friday.
Pivetta initially struggled when he came into the Phillies organization from the Nationals, but he put that in the rearview mirror as he advanced to get his first taste of Triple-A. The 23-year-old possesses a decent fastball and above average breaking pitches, so if he can continue to succeed at Triple-A, he could climb onto the big league roster in 2017 as a starter or a reliever.
