Phillies signed RHP Rodrigo Lopez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Lopez appeared in four games with the Cubs in 2012 and posted a 5.28 ERA and 55/26 K/BB ratio in 73 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level. He won't be an option for the major league roster with the Phillies, but should serve as an insurance policy for John Lannan in the minors.
