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.
