Phillips signed a minor-league deal with the Rays on Tuesday and will join Triple-A Durham, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty pitcher finds a home with the Rays just one day after being released by Baltimore. Phillips was unremarkable with Triple-A Norfolk this season, posting a 5.04 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 25 relief innings. That being said, the Rays' ability to turn unheralded minor leaguers into big-league weapons is well documented, so it will be interesting to see how Phillips' career progresses from here.
