Phillies add RHP Rodrigo Lopez on minors deal
Rodrigo Lopez - R - Philadelphia Phillies
Jan. 12, 2013 - 3:15 PM ET

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.
