The Phillies claimed Ezequiel Carrera off waivers on Tuesday afternoon and designated Rule 5 pick Ender Inciarte for assignment.

Over the past two seasons Carrera has a slash of .255/.306/.347 with 14 doubles, six triples, and a pair of home runs.
Inciarte, a Rule 5 pick, performed well for the Phillies during spring training and earned a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 22-year-old has never appeared in a game above the High-A level, though. The Phillies can potentially work out a trade with Arizona to keep him with the club, but if a deal can't be struck the Diamondbacks can claim him for a small fee.
Carrera likely will be used as a late-inning option off the bench.
