The Phillies traded for lefty reliever Kyle Backhus from Arizona, adding bullpen depth for 2026.
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired left-handed reliever Kyle Backhus from the Arizona Diamondbacks for minor league outfielder Avery Owusu-Asiedu, adding bullpen depth ahead of the 2026 season.
Backhus, 27, made his MLB debut in 2025, posting a 4.62 ERA but excelling against left-handed hitters with a .139 average.
The trade follows the Phillies' earlier deal sending Matt Strahm to the Royals for Jonathan Bowlan.
The moves are part of a broader effort to strengthen their relief corps, with the team now filling all eight bullpen spots.
