The Philadelphia Phillies signed 24-year-old outfielder Wuilfredo Antunez to a two-year minor league contract on or shortly before July 19, 2026, Forbes reported. The agreement came shortly after the Cleveland Guardians released the former prospect and is uncommon for a player of Antunez's experience. It gives Philadelphia extended time to assess whether he can return to prior performance levels.
Antunez earned a spot in the Arizona Fall League after his strong 2025 season. He appeared in two games before right shoulder tendinitis ended his participation. He batted .196 in the 2026 season.
