Phillies release veteran RHP Brandon Kintzler
The Philadelphia Phillies released veteran hurler Brandon Kintzler on Tuesday after designating him for assignment last weekend.
Kintzler, 37, signed a minor-league deal with the Phillies, making $3 million after earning a spot on the big-league club out of spring training.
He was 2-1 with a 6.37 ERA in 29 games (one start) for the Phils this season. He saved 12 games for the Miami Marlins in the pandemic-shortened 2020
