"The 31-year-old righty made 15 appearances, allowing seven runs (six earned) across 13 innings. He struck out 15 but walked 10 out of 59 batters faced. Robert had better numbers in the minors, combining for a 2.67 earned run average across 30 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level. He struck out 27.3% of opponents against a sub-7% walk rate. A forearm strain cost him the final month of the season."
"Philadelphia doesn't have a ton of bullpen opportunities available if everyone gets through camp healthy. Jhoan Duran, José Alvarado, Brad Keller, Tanner Banks, Jonathan Bowlan and Orion Kerkering have jobs secure. That'd leave two bullpen roles up for grabs unless the Phillies add a swingman late in the offseason. Free agent signee Zach Pop is out of options, while Rule 5 draftee Zach McCambley needs to break camp or be placed on waivers and offered back to the Marlins if he clears."
Daniel Robert agreed to a minor league contract with the Phillies and will attend camp as a non-roster invitee. He joined Philadelphia last May via a DFA trade with the Rangers and made 15 appearances, allowing seven runs (six earned) across 13 innings while striking out 15 and walking 10. Robert posted a 2.67 ERA over 30 1/3 Triple-A innings with a 27.3% strikeout rate and sub-7% walk rate, then missed the final month with a forearm strain. Philadelphia non-tendered him in November and later re-signed him. The Phillies have most bullpen spots secured, leaving roughly two roles to fill unless another swingman is added; Zach Pop is out of options and Rule 5 draftee Zach McCambley must break camp or be offered back to the Marlins.
