PITTSBURGH — The Philadelphia Phillies designated Navy veteran Noah Song for assignment. The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher was taken by the Phillies from Boston in the Rule 5 draft during the league's winter meetings in December with hopes he would play after military service. If Song clears waivers, Boston will have the option of taking him back to its organization. Song reported to major league spring training on Feb. 23 after the Navy granted his transfer from active duty to the reserves. Song hadn't pitched in a professional game since Aug. 29, 2019, for Class A Lowell.
