Tim Mayza is returning to the Philadelphia Phillies on a minor league contract. The veteran lefthander will receive an invitation to Spring Training.

Fantasy Impact

Mayza, an eight-year veteran in the majors, has put together a quiet, yet solid career as a middle reliever. Drafted out of Division II Millersville in 2013, Mayza has pitched with the Blue Jays, Yankees, Pirates, and Phillies and has a 20-9 overall record with a 3.89 ERA in 382 career appearances. His best season came in 2023 with Toronto when he pitched 69 games and posted a 1.52 ERA in 53.1 innings. The Allentown, Pennsylvania native pitched with both Pennsylvania teams last season and had a 3.78 ERA in 15 games. There are some openings in the Phillies' bullpen and, with a good spring, Mayza could claim one of those spots.

The Phillies claimed LHP Tim Mayza off waivers from the Pirates.

Pirates left-hander Tim Mayza (shoulder) is throwing from 120 feet with good velocity and intensity, as per senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk.

Fantasy Impact

Mayza appears to be a ways away from a big-league return but seems to be on the right track. He was impactful when healthy, posting a 2.89 ERA across seven outings with the Bucs before hitting the IL.
