The Philadelphia Phillies have signed free agent 1B Seth Beer to a minor league deal, the team announced on Wednesday morning.

Beer, 28, was drafted 28th overall by the Houston Astros in the 2018 MLB Draft out of Clemson University. He was traded to Arizona at the 2019 MLB trade deadline as part of the deal that sent Zack Greinke to Houston. Beer made the D-backs 40-man roster and made his Major League debut on September 10, 2021, in which he homered in his first major-league at-bat. He spent the entire 2021 season with Triple-A Reno while recovering from a shoulder injury. The highlight of Beer’s major league career came on Opening Day 2022 when he hit a walk-off three-run home run to give the D-backs a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres.
