Lough signed a minor league contract with the Phillies on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ryan Lawrence of the Philly Voice reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lough spent time with both the major league club and Triple-A affiliate in the Orioles organization in 2015, although he posted a lowly .554 OPS in 144 plate appearances with the big club. At age 30, Lough doesn't provide a lot of future promise for a rebuilding Phillies club, but he could provide a veteran presence as a backup outfielder if he makes the team out of spring training.
