Phillies Heat Up With De La Cruz | MLB News
Description
The Phillies are on fire since May, surging into playoff contention in the NL East — but with the trade deadline looming, they’re still hunting for outfield upgrades. Enter Bryan De La Cruz, a 28-year-old right-handed hitter signed to a major league deal, adding much-needed power and depth after a strong Triple-A campaign. Though his MLB stats haven’t dazzled, his 58-career homers and .400+ slugging show he’s got pop. He’s been added to the 40-man roster and optioned back to AAA — but the Phillies know this is just a stopgap. They’re still looking to shore up their outfield before the deadline, as their offense lights up, but gaps remain.
