The Philadelphia Phillies have acquired pitcher Daniel Robert from the Texas Rangers in a trade finalized on Thursday. Acquired in exchange for Single-A prospect Enrique Segura, Robert, a 27th-round pick from the 2021 MLB draft, brings a promising talent to the Phillies' bullpen. In his brief major league stint, he has posted a 3.18 ERA and struck out six in 5.2 innings. With a minor league record showcasing a stunning 1.54 ERA, the Phillies are optimistic that Robert can bolster their pitching depth.

Manager Rob Thomson expressed confidence in Robert’s abilities, particularly noting his strong fastball and effective slider. Such small trades can yield significant returns, especially for a contending team like the Phillies. The move highlights the organization's commitment to enhancing their pitching staff as they aim for postseason success.
