  • New York Mets (2016-17)
  • Arizona Diamondbacks (2018)
  • Philadelphia Phillies (2019)

Ten-year veteran Fernando Salas came to Philadelphia on a minor-league deal in early June 2019. A little more than two weeks later, the Phillies purchased his contract, and he would appear in three games before being designated for assignment and sent outright off the 40-man roster.

The pinnacle point of Salas’ major-league career came in just his second season, 2011, in which he would help the St. Louis Cardinals to a World Series championship. In fact, Salas appeared in three games against the Phillies in the 2011 NLDS, allowing only one run and two hits through 3 2/3 innings.

In 2019-20 Mexican Pacific Winter League Action, Salas has a perfect 0.00 ERA through 22 innings, striking out 23 batters while walking just four.
