It looks like RHP Lincoln Holdzkom's chance to become a Phillie is over. He has been removed from the Phillies' online 40-man roster. As a Rule 5 draft pick, if he is removed from the active roster, he must be offered back to the team he was drafted from: in this case, the Boston Red Sox.
UPDATE: Holdzkom was offered back to Boston, who refused him. He is now a free agent and, as such, could return to the Phillies with a minor-league deal.
Holdzkom last pitched in a game a week ago, giving up a walk, a run, and no hits in one inning. Holdzkom compiled a 2.70 ERA this spring.
UPDATE 2: Boston signed Holdzkom as a free agent Thursday after moving Curt Schilling to the 60-day disabled list.
