Brewer Hicklen News: Designated for assignment

The Phillies designated Hicklen for assignment Tuesday.

The Phillies selected Rafael Lantigua to the active roster Tuesday to make up for the loss of Edmundo Sosa (groin), which pushed Hicklen off the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has spent the majority of the season as organizational depth at Triple-A, slashing .224/.319/.409 across 386 plate appearances.
