The Philadelphia Phillies made their first, and hopefully not last, bullpen addition on Sunday by signing veteran reliever David Robertson for the rest of the season. Robertson is making his third stint with the Phillies and will begin a ramp-up period in Triple-A after not pitching yet in 2025.

The Phillies’ bullpen is among the worst in the majors this year.
