Former All-Star pitcher Walker Buehler signs with Phillies, joining Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The Philadelphia Phillies signed free agent pitcher Walker Buehler to a minor league contract, assigning him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Buehler, 31, was released by the Red Sox after a disappointing season with a 5.45 ERA. The move aims to bolster the Phillies' rotation, which has a hole following Zack Wheeler's season-ending surgery. Buehler, a former All-Star with a career 3.56 ERA and 838 strikeouts, could contribute to the team's postseason push.
