He’s back and it’s like he never left (literally)!
The Phillies announced on Sunday they signed infielder Ronald Torreyes to a minor league contract with an invite to the big-league camp. The fan-favorite utilityman provides solid infield defense, and good clubhouse morale-boosting.
Torreyes appeared in 111 games for the Phillies last season and hit seven home runs. He provided solid defense at third base in 55 of those games when Alec Bohm was struggling. Torreyes is a solid option for Triple-A depth, and it’s likely he will see major league playing time at some point this season because, well, injuries.
