Phillies claim Achter off waivers from Twins

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.
