The Phillies have agreed to terms on a one-year, $2 million major-league contract with right-hander Spencer Turnbull, a source said Sunday. The deal, not yet announced because it hasn’t been finalized, includes performance bonuses that could bring the total value to $4 million.
Turnbull went on the injured list last May with neck discomfort and missed time later in the season with a cracked toenail. The Tigers sent him to the minors but agreed to reverse the option and credit a full season of major-league service because Turnbull contended that the move was related to the toe injury. He also didn’t pitch in 2022 while recovering from Tommy John elbow surgery.
Covey, 32, is out of minor league options. After allowing seven runs in the first inning of a May 28 start in Atlanta, he moved to the bullpen and finished the season with a 3.77 ERA in 29 appearances.
