Mon May 20 2013 | 22:05 | Phillippe Aumont gives up two runs in eighth |
Phillippe Aumont gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning mopping up against the Marlins on Monday. |
Aumont seems about due for a demotion. His 4.05 ERA still isn't bad, but it's come with a terrible 2.08 WHIP in 13 innings. All he's doing is mopping up anyway; all but one of his 16 appearances has come in a Phillies loss. |

Phillippe Aumont has won a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day bullpen. |

Mon Sep 3 2012 | 16:16 | Phillippe Aumont earns first career save |
Phillippe Aumont recorded his first major league save despite giving up a run in the ninth Monday against the Reds. |
Jonathan Papelbon had the day off after Sunday night's blown save and loss. Aumont couldn't hack it as a starter, but he has closer potential with his 94-98 mph fastball and sharp curve. It'd be a big lift to the Phillies' chances if he turns into a quality setup man next year. |

Mon Aug 20 2012 | 22:25 | Phils call up RHP Aumont from Triple-A |
Phillies recalled RHP Phillippe Aumont from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. |
He'll take the roster spot of Jeremy Horst, who was placed on the paternity leave list Monday. Aumont, who was acquired from the Mariners in the Cliff Lee deal, has a 4.26 ERA and 59 strikeouts over 44 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season, but he has also averaged 6.9 BB/9. He'll likely be used in lower-leverage situations in his first taste of the big leagues. |

Phillies optioned RHP Philippe Aumont to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. |

Fri Nov 18 2011 | 12:01 | Phillippe Aumont added to roster |
Phillies purchased the contract of RHP Phillippe Aumont from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. |
Aumont had a nice bounce-back season in 2011, posting a 2.68 ERA and 78/25 K/BB ratio over 53 2/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A. The Phillies have finally given up on the idea of him starting, and he has closer-upside as a reliever. Aumont was one of the key pieces acquired in the Cliff Lee deal during the 2009 offseason. |

Thu Jan 13 2011 | 15:52 | Aumont moving back to bullpen |
Phillies assistant general manager Chuck LaMar said that prospect right-hander Phillippe Aumont will move back to the bullpen in 2011. |
"That's where he's comfortable," said LaMar. "We wanted to start him last year and we did. His results weren't very good. But we put him in that position. I felt bad sometimes for the kid. He wants to relieve. He feels comfortable relieving. That's what he did in Seattle." Aumont was demoted to Single-A Clearwater last season after posting an awful 7.43 ERA and 38/38 K/BB ratio over 11 starts with Double-A Reading. The 22-year-old right-hander was one of the top relief prospects in baseball before coming over in the Cliff Lee trade, so perhaps a return to the bullpen will get his career back on track. |

Mon Jun 7 2010 | 09:10 | Aumont demoted from Double-A to Single-A |
Phillies pitching prospect Phillippe Aumont has been demoted from Double-A Reading to Single-A Clearwater. |
Aumont, 21, was 1-6 with a 7.43 ERA and a 38/38 K/BB ratio in 11 starts for Reading. The Phillies believe they made a mistake by starting him off this season at Double-A, rather than Single-A. Hopefully the lesser competition will help the kid build some confidence and work on his pitches. |

Mon Apr 26 2010 | 14:07 | Phillies prospect Aumont goes six hitless |
Phillippe Aumont pitched six innings of no-hit ball for Double-A Reading on Sunday. |
Aumont, who has returned to starting with the Phillies after the Mariners converted him into a reliever last year, has improved with each outing, giving up four, three, one and now no runs. Overall, he has a 3.32 ERA and a 14/9 K/BB ratio in 21 2/3 innings. He should be able to last in the rotation, but if he's going to help the Phillies this year, it will probably be out of the pen. |
