Phillies sign pitcher Lucas Sims, aiming to bolster their underperforming bullpen.

The Philadelphia Phillies signed right-handed pitcher Lucas Sims to a minor league deal, seeking to strengthen their struggling bullpen. Sims, 31, was recently released by the Washington Nationals after a poor start. The Phillies will evaluate him at their Florida pitching lab before assigning him to Triple-A. This move hints at potential further bullpen reinforcements before the trade deadline.
