Óscar Mercado: Breaking News

Returns to Phillies organization

Mercado signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday. Arizona cut Mercado loose last week after he failed to win a spot on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster, but the veteran outfielder quickly found an opportunity in the Phillies organization. He was assigned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley and went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run while appearing in two games during the affiliate's first series of the season. The 31-year-old previously spent the entire 2025 campaign at Lehigh Valley, slashing .247/.368/.370 with 11 home runs and 40 steals across 481 plate appearances.

Joins Philly as NRI

Mercado signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday that includes an invitation to big-league spring training. The 30-year-old spent last season at the Triple-A level in the Tigers and Padres organizations, compiling a .222/.308/.405 slash line with 12 homers and 16 steals over 93 games. Mercado posted a .761 OPS as a rookie with Cleveland in 2019, but he has a .596 OPS in 183 big-league games since that debut campaign.
