The Phillies made their first wave of September roster moves on Tuesday.

Right-handed pitcher Dalier Hinojosa was recalled and catcher Erik Kratz and right-handed pitcher Colton Murray had their contracts selected by the Phillies. All three players were brought up from Triple A Lehigh Valley and will join the Phillies in New York.

Chad Billingsley and Matt Harrison were transferred to the 60-day disabled list to clear roster spots on the 40-man roster for Kratz and Murray.

Hinojosa, 29, was claimed off waivers from the Boston Red Sox on July 15. The Cuban appeared in three games for the Phillies from July 31 to Aug. 6, logging five scoreless innings.

Kratz began the season with the Kansas City Royals' organization but has also spent time with the Red Sox and Seattle Mariners in 2015. The Phillies signed him on July 17 and the 35-year-old has hit .312 with three home runs and 15 RBIs in 26 games with the IronPigs.

Murray, who was selected in the 13th round of the 2011 MLB draft by the Phillies, appeared in 31 games for Lehigh Valley this season. He also spent time with Double A Reading. In all, he's 8-3 with a 2.67 ERA in 52 games.
