 The Philadelphia Phillies have brought Joe Ross onboard with a one-year contract worth $4 million, as reported by Matt Gelb of The Athletic. This signing sees Ross taking on a versatile swingman role, adding depth to both the starting rotation and bullpen.
To make room for Ross on the 40-man roster, the Phillies have designated right-handed pitcher José Cuas for assignment. Ross, who will turn 32 in May, spent the 2024 season with the Milwaukee Brewers. He began the year in their rotation, starting nine games and posting a 4.50 ERA and 4.65 SIERA through mid-May. However, a lower back strain sidelined him for over two months. His return saw a rocky start (5 IP, 5 ER) before he transitioned to the bullpen. Ross's ability to function as both a starter and reliever provides valuable flexibility for the Phillies as they aim to bolster their pitching staff for the upcoming season.
