Óscar Mercado has re-signed with the Philadelphia Phillies on a new minor league deal, following a brief opt-out period. Previously, he participated in 92 Triple-A games with a batting line of .252/.373/.385, and an impressive 14.6% walk rate alongside 35 stolen bases. Despite his solid performance, he did not get called up to the majors due to a competitive outfield rotation. Mercado's return adds non-roster depth, though opportunities may arise primarily due to injuries among major league players.
Mercado signed a new minor league deal with the Phillies after opting out of his previous contract, showcasing his commitment to returning to the organization.
In Triple-A, Mercado posted a .252 batting average and showed strong plate discipline with a 14.6% walk rate alongside 35 stolen bases across 92 games.
The current outfield for the Phillies is crowded, with established players like Nick Castellanos and Brandon Marsh, limiting Mercado's immediate opportunities.
Mercado's return serves to bolster the Phillies' non-roster depth; however, substantial injuries may be necessary for him to see big league play.
