The Phillies are in agreement with reliever\u00a0Daniel Robert<\/a> on a minor league contract, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post<\/a>. He\u2019ll be in camp as a non-roster invitee after being dropped from Philadelphia\u2019s roster at the tender deadline.<\/p>\n

Robert landed in Philly last May via DFA trade with the Rangers. The 31-year-old righty made 15 appearances, allowing seven runs (six earned) across 13 innings. He struck out 15 but walked 10 out of 59 batters faced. Robert had better numbers in the minors, combining for a 2.67 earned run average across 30 1\/3 innings at the Triple-A level. He struck out 27.3% of opponents against a sub-7% walk rate. A forearm strain cost him the final month of the season.<\/p>\n

The Phillies cut Robert from the 40-man roster in November. The non-tender sent him to free agency without exposing him to waivers. Teams frequently try to circle back on minor league deals with pre-arbitration players in those situations. It took a few months but the Phillies follow that path with Robert, who\u2019ll try to pitch his way back into the middle innings as long as he\u2019s healthy during Spring Training.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia doesn\u2019t have a ton of bullpen opportunities available if everyone gets through camp healthy.\u00a0Jhoan Duran,\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Alvarado,\u00a0Brad Keller, Tanner Banks,\u00a0Jonathan Bowlan and\u00a0Orion Kerkering have jobs secure. That\u2019d leave two bullpen roles up for grabs unless the Phillies add a swingman late in the offseason. Free agent signee\u00a0Zach Pop is out of options, while Rule 5 draftee\u00a0Zach McCambley needs to break camp or be placed on waivers and offered back to the Marlins if he clears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phillies are in agreement with reliever\u00a0Daniel Robert on a minor league contract, reports Jon Heyman of The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2290],"tags":[5,1142],"class_list":["post-553923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-baseball","tag-baseball","tag-daniel-robert"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116011470770745365","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
