Ruiz agreed to a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Monday.
Analysis: The deal includes an invitation to big-league spring training, though Ruiz should be viewed as a long shot to secure a spot in the Phillies' Opening Day bullpen. Over 38 big-league appearances with the White Sox and Diamondbacks in 2023 spanning 44.1 innings, Ruiz posted a 5.89 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB while serving up 10 home runs.
Jose Ruiz Elects free agency
Ruiz elected to become a free agent Thursday.
Analysis: Ruiz spent much of this season with the National League champion Diamondbacks before being removed from the 40-man roster just after the All-Star break. The 29-year-old will now look to latch on with another organization.
