    Phillies signed RHP Phil Bickford to a minor league contract.
    Bickford heads to Triple-A Lehigh Valley as extra organizational relief depth for Philadelphia after being released last week by the Cubs following a couple months in their system. The 29-year-old former first-round pick has made 187 relief appearances in the big leagues dating back to the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. He got into eight games last year for the Yankees.
  • CHC Relief Pitcher #53
    Cubs signed RHP Phil Bickford to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
    Bickford bolsters Chicago’s relief depth heading into the 2025 campaign after making eight unremarkable relief appearances last season for the Mets, finishing with a bloated 8.64 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 6/1 K/BB ratio across 8 1/3 innings of work. The 29-year-old journeyman right-hander holds a serviceable 4.62 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 210/73 K/BB ratio across 189 innings (187 appearances) in the big leagues dating back to 2020.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #53
    Yankees sent RHP Phil Bickford outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

  • NYY Relief Pitcher #53
    Yankees designated RHP Phil Bickford for assignment.
    Bickford loses his spot on New York’s 40-man roster with both Clark Schmidt and Ian Hamilton returning from the injured list ahead of Saturday’s game at Wrigley Field. The 29-year-old righty made eight relief appearances for the Yankees after being brought up back in late August.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #53
    Yankees selected the contract of RHP Phil Bickford from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
    Bickford is back on the roster with Michael Tonkin being designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and active group. Bickford will be a middle-inning option for the New York bullpen while he’s with the team.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #53
    Yankees re-signed RHP Phil Bickford to a minor league contract.
    Bickford was designated for assignment last weekend and passed through waivers unclaimed, but he elected free agency rather than accepting his outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. After exploring the market over the holiday though, he decided that his best opportunity was to return to the Yankees. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth at Triple-A.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #53
    Phil Bickford has elected free agency.
    The 28-year-old right-hander was designated for assignment over the weekend and passed through waivers unclaimed, but rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he’ll peddle his wares on the open market instead. Bickford holds a 2.93 ERA over 22 appearances at Triple-A this season, so it shouldn’t take him long to find a new gig.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #53
    Yankees assigned RHP Phil Bickford to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre.
    Bickford cleared waivers and elected to report to Triple-A rather than hit free agency. He allowed nine runs (eight earned) in five innings with the Yankees (14.40 ERA). Bickford has a 2.93 ERA in 22 Triple-A appearances this year. He would need to be added back to the 40-man roster before the Yankees could call on him again as bullpen depth.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #53
    Yankees designated RHP Phil Bickford for assignment.
    Bickford was with the Yankees for a little over a week, and he was ineffective while allowing five runs in 4 1/3 innings. He’ll now hit the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed he will have the option to report back to Triple-A or elect free agency.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #50
    Yankees selected the contract of RHP Phil Bickford from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre.
