Neshek had much success his first go-around with the Phillies, a 1.12 ERA; since has been anything but, including posting a 5.00 ERA in 18 innings this past season.

The 39-year-old underwent surgery on his left hamstring in early September, forgoing  another round of platelet-rich plasma treatment. On October 31, the Phillies declined Neshek’s $7 million club option for 2020.
