Ross, 31, is expected to fill a swingman role for the Phillies, who could use him as a long reliever or starter.<\/p>\n<p>Ross did both last season while with the Milwaukee Brewers. He had a 3.77 ERA in 25 games \u2014 10 of them starts. For his career, Ross has a 4.19 ERA in parts of seven seasons. He\u2019s been a starter for most of his career but did not pitch in the majors from 2022-23 while he recovered from a second Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n<p>By adding Ross to the bullpen mix, the Phillies have seven slots that appear set. They\u2019d go into spring training with Jordan Romano, Matt Strahm, Jos\u00e9 Alvarado, Orion Kerkering, Jos\u00e9 Ruiz, Tanner Banks and Ross as the initial mix. That would leave one job open to competition.<\/p>\n<p>The Phillies had said they were in the market for a veteran swingman-type pitcher \u2014 someone who could fill a role similar to what Spencer Turnbull did for them a season ago.<\/p>\n<p>GO DEEPER Phillies acquire lefty Jes\u00fas Luzardo in trade with Marlins<em>(Photo: John Fisher \/ Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Get all-access to exclusive stories.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
