Overview

  • The Phillies added Sergio Alcántara on a minor-league contract and placed him with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, according to MLB.com's transactions log.
  • The move comes after the Nationals released him when he did not make their Opening Day roster.
  • Across parts of six MLB seasons, he has hit .207/.278/.340 in 506 plate appearances, reflecting below-average offense.
  • His value is defense at shortstop, highlighted by six Outs Above Average in 2021 and favorable Statcast arm readings.
  • With Trea Turner, Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm, Edmundo Sosa, and Dylan Moore in place, he projects as depth and potential injury cover rather than an immediate call-up.
