Report: Roman Quinn returns to Phillies organization on minor league deal

The Phillies have signed Roman Quinn to a minor-league deal, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic.

Quinn, 28, competed for a spot on the Marlins roster this spring but did not make the team. He was drafted by the Phillies in the second round of the 2011 draft and spent five years on the big league roster. His 2021 season ended early last May when he tore his left Achilles during a game against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Quinn, according to Gelb, will play center field for Lehigh Valley. The Phillies are short on outfield depth with both Odúbel Herrera and Mickey Moniak on the injured list. 23-year-old prospect Simon Muzziotti is currently the team’s fifth outfielder. If there’s another injury in that position group, it’s possible that the Phillies add Quinn to the 40-man roster.
