Phillies Claim RHP Andrew Hoffmann From Diamondbacks
Philadelphia adds the right-hander via release waivers and sends him to Triple-A, where he'll look to recover from a rough 2026.
The Phillies claimed right-hander Andrew Hoffmann off release waivers from the Diamondbacks and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Hoffmann had been DFA'd by Arizona and could not be placed on outright waivers due to being on the minor league IL. He owns a 6.85 ERA in 23.2 MLB innings in 2026 but showed promise in 2025 with a 3.19 ERA and 31.7% strikeout rate at Triple-A. Philadelphia likely views him as a reclamation project given his long-term team control.
