Phillies signed LHP Tim Mayza to a one-year contract.

The 34-year-old southpaw had asked for his release from the Phillies on Saturday. Instead, he has been informed that he has made the team’s Opening Day bullpen and been signed to a one-year deal. Mayza posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and a 10/2 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings during Grapefruit League action. He’ll function in a middle relief role.

Phillies re-signed LHP Tim Mayza to a minor league contract.

Mayza missed much of last season with a lat strain, posting a 2.89 ERA in 9 1/3 innings for the Pirates before the injury and a 4.91 ERA in 7 1/3 innings for the Phillies after being picked up for the stretch run. The 34-year-old lefty has a career 3.87 ERA in 382 relief appearances. He figures to have a difficult time making the Phillies out of spring training.

Phillies claimed LHP Tim Mayza off waivers from the Pirates.

Mayza has been scooped up off release waivers after being jettisoned earlier this weekend by the Pirates. The 33-year-old southpaw will be eligible for the postseason with his new club. The 33-year-old lefty made seven appearances for Pittsburgh before hitting the injured list back in mid-April with a left lat strain that has kept him sidelined ever since.

Pirates transferred LHP Tim Mayza to the 60-day injured list.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 33-year-old southpaw — who will be shut down from throwing for at least the next six weeks — this was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for Matt Gorski who was promoted from Triple-A on Thursday.

Mayza heads to the injured list with former closer David Bednar to return to the big leagues. He’s posted a solid 2.89 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 8/1 K/BB ratio across 9 1/3 innings (seven appearances). He should be back in a couple weeks.
