The Philadelphia Phillies, desperate for bullpen help, are reportedly signing veteran free agent David Robertson, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.

The Philadelphia Phillies and right-handed reliever David Robertson have agreed on a one-year deal, according to multiple reports on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Phillies won the free agent race for a pitcher wanted by the New York Mets, the New York Yankees and more. The 40-year old reliever David Robertson has signed with the Phillies. MLB insider Jon Heyman reports he'll be paid $6.22 million the rest of the season ($16 million prorated).

The Phillies are brining righty reliever David Robertson back for a third time. He was part of the team that went to the 2022 World Series.

The pitcher, also a longtime coach and scout for the Oakland A's who made a lasting mark in independent baseball, died after a private cancer battle Saturday.

Thomson said on Friday Walker, who pitched four innings of one-run ball against the Giants after returning to the rotation in place of Abel before the All-Star Break, would get a run as the fifth starter. The manager did not back off that statement Sunday, saying definitively Walker would make his next start Friday against the Yankees in New York.

Former Philadelphia Phillies player and manager Ryne Sandberg has provided an update on his battle with cancer.

One rough outing shouldn’t cause alarm, though fretting Phillies fans have a penchant for fearing the worst and recent history dictates such. This was also the the third straight game the Phillies’ starting pitcher didn’t reach the fifth inning.
