Phillies Sign Right-Hander Walker Buehler to Bolter Pitching Staff

The Phillies strengthened their postseason pitching with two World Series veterans, addressing injuries and suspensions as they lead the NL East with a 79-57 record, sources said.

  • On August 31, 2025, the Philadelphia Phillies added experienced right-handed pitcher Walker Buehler to their roster to strengthen their pitching options heading into the postseason.
  • The signing followed Buehler's release by the Boston Red Sox, who demoted him from their rotation after struggles this season and needed roster space.
  • Buehler, who earned All-Star honors twice and contributed to two Dodgers World Series victories, recorded a 7-7 record with a 5.45 ERA over 23 appearances for Boston in 2025.
  • The Phillies lead the NL East at 79-57 and lost Zack Wheeler for the season, making Buehler's addition key amid a 15-day stretch with no off days.
  • Buehler will initially report to Triple-A but is eligible for the Phillies’ postseason roster, providing them needed innings depth for their World Series ambitions.
