The Philadelphia Phillies keep finding ways to add pitching depth.
After adding right-hander Jeremy Hellickson via trade, signing left-hander James Russell to a minor-league contract, and claiming right-hander Dan Otero off waivers, the Phillies have added another arm to their roster claiming right-hander A.J. Achter off waivers from the Minnesota Twins.
Achter made 11 appearances out of the Twins' bullpen in 2015, posting a 6.75 ERA and 1.35 WHIP.
He also went 4-2 with a 2.62 ERA and 14 saves in 43 games with Triple-A Rochester.
