The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent right-hander Drew Hutchison to a minor-league deal on Thursday, and he will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Before Hutchison was released by the Toronto Blue Jays last week, he posted a 5.66 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 29 walks and 31 strikeouts in nine starts (35 innings) for Triple-A Buffalo. The 32-year-old veteran spent part of the 2018 season with the Phillies, but he hasn't seen major-league action since 2022 with the Detroit Tigers, when he went 3-9 with a 4.53 ERA (4.93 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, 42 walks and 68 K's in 28 appearances (18 starts) over 105 1/3 frames. Hutchison will strictly serve as organizational depth. He has a 4.89 career ERA (4.53 FIP), 1.42 WHIP and 19.2% strikeout rate in 587 innings over 135 outings (99 starts) in seven big-league seasons.

The Detroit Tigers designated right-hander Drew Hutchison for assignment on Tuesday and claimed shortstop Jermaine Palacios from the Minnesota Twins in a corresponding move. Hutchison went 3-9 this year for the Tigers with a 4.53 ERA (4.93 FIP), a 1.48 WHIP, 68 strikeouts and 42 walks in 105 1/3 innings over his 28 appearances (18 starts). Palacios made his major-league debut this year in Minnesota and played in 30 games, going 10-for-70 (.143) with two home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 77 plate appearances.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Drew Hutchison had his contract purchased from the minor leagues, and he will start on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers have optioned Derek Hill and designated Jacob Barnes for assignment in corresponding moves. Hutchison will be making his first start for the Tigers this year after allowing eight earned runs on 12 hits while walking 12 and striking out 15 in 15 2/3 innings over 10 relief appearances in Detroit. The 31-year-old hasn't gone more than three innings in any of his outings in the majors or minors this year, so he'll be a poor choice as a deep sleeper for DFS managers. Hutchison has been better for Triple-A Toledo, posting a 2.79 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 13 K's and three walks in 9 2/3 innings over five outings (two starts).

RHP Drew Hutchison, in his Pirates debut, started and gave up four runs and eight hits in four innings with three strikeouts and no walks on Saturday night. He was disappointed in his performance because Pittsburgh took a 4-0 lead, and he allowed four runs in the fourth to give those runs back. "We had a four-run lead. To give that back is unacceptable," Hutchison said. "I wasn't sharp in the first. I thought I did a good job and started to get going in the second and the third. Just frustrating and disappointing."

RHP Drew Hutchison (0-0) will start Saturday against the Reds in Kuhl's spot and RHP Gerrit Cole (7-9) will come off the disabled list for the second time following the All-Star break to start Monday in Philadelphia. Cole is on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation but threw a successful bullpen session earlier this week.

RHP Drew Hutchison will make his third appearance of the season, and his second start, Thursday in the opener of a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers at Rogers Centre. Hutchison was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday to bolster the bullpen that had been depleted by the 19-inning loss to the Cleveland Indians on Friday. Hutchison allowed three hits and two runs in one inning of relief on Saturday. His lone start was April 24 against the Oakland Athletics, when he earned the win by allowing four hits, three walks and two runs -- both on home runs -- in 5 2/3 innings, He is 6-3 with a 2.78 ERA in 15 starts at Buffalo.

RHP Drew Hutchison was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo Saturday to provide a fresh arm for the bullpen after the 19-inning loss to the Cleveland innings on Friday and now he could be making a spot start Thursday against the Detroit. There had been plan to return him to Buffalo after the game Saturday but with RHP Marco Estrada limited to five innings in that start because of a sore back. Hutchison stayed in Toronto. It appears now that Estrada's back is improving and that he won't miss a start. Manager John Gibbons said Tuesday that Hutchison might start Thursday to give Estrada an extra day. Hutchison was not needed in relief Tuesday and got his side work in in the bullpen during the game.
