The Phillies recalled left-handed reliever Jake Diekman on Thursday, as the corresponding move to the demotion of Tyler Cloyd.
Diekman, 26, followed up a sparkling 2012 minor league campaign (1.69 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) with a relatively ugly 2013 -- in 30 innings, Diekman has a 5.70 ERA and 1.83 WHIP. However, he has been great against lefties, holding them to a .161 average.
