Ahead of their series with the Guardians, the Phillies signed Drake Fellows to a Minor League contract (via MiLB.com).
Tom Housenick of The Morning Call wrote: “Today’s @IronPigs roster move RHP Drake Fellows signed by @Phillies added to Triple-A roster Fellows, 28, has not pitched this year. Was 2019 6th-round pick of @Padres”
Fellows had been with the New York Yankees organization over the offseason.
He was a sixth round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft (out of Vanderbilt) by the San Diego Padres.
The 28-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut.
Last year, Fellows went 9-6 with a 4.41 ERA in 33 Triple-A games (19 starts).
@PHLBaseballNews wrote (on Thursday): “The #IronPigs are putting their newest pitcher right to work. Drake Fellows was signed to an #MiLB deal and assigned to Lehigh Valley. He gets the start against @swbrailriders.”

If Fellows does well with the IronPigs, he could be a candidate to get a change on the Phillies this season.
