Phils pick up minor league pitcher

The Associated Press is reporting that the Phillies acquired right-handed pitcher Gary Knotts from the Newark Bears Tuesday.

Knotts was 7-5 with a 2.65 ERA in 16 starts for the Bears, who play in the independent Atlantic League. He was assigned to Double-A Reading.

Knotts takes the roster spot of Matt Maloney, who was shipped to the Cincinnati Reds Monday for Kyle Lohse.

Knotts does have some major league experience. He was 13-16 with a 5.45 ERA in 86 games for Florida and Detroit from 2001-2004.
