The Phillies have signed pitcher Adam Loewen to a minor league deal. Loewen, 30, will return to the mound after spending the last six seasons as an outfielder. Loewen was ranked the #13 prospect by Baseball America in 2004 as a pitcher but converted to the outfield for the 2008 season after battling elbow trouble. Loewen spent parts of three years in the Majors with the Orioles, posting a 5.38 ERA in 164 IP.
