Report: Hamels, Byrd claimed off waivers

FOXSports.com reported Wednesday that unidentified teams claimed both left-hander Cole Hamels and right fielder Marlon Byrd off waivers, while closer Jonathan Papelbon cleared. It means the Phillies have 48 hours to work out trades with the teams that claimed Hamels and Byrd. If they do not, they are expected to pull back both players from waivers.
