PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies signed right-handed reliever Corey Knebel to a $10 million, one-year contract on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old Knebel posted a 2.45 ERA and had three saves in 27 total appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021. 

Knebel was named to his first National League All-Star team in 2017 and led all NL pitchers with 76 appearances, but does have an injury history.

He missed the entire 2019 season while recovering from Tommy John Surgery and missed three months of the 2021 campaign with a lat strain.

If healthy, Knebel could give the Phillies an option to close games in 2022.
