Outfielder David Dahl is back in the Philadelphia Phillies organization on a minor league contract, The Athletic reported Monday.

The news comes less than two weeks after Dahl was designated for assignment by the club and declined a minor league deal.

Dahl, 30, batted .207 with three home runs and eight RBIs in 19 games with the Phillies this season. He has played in just 23 games over the past three major league seasons.

Dahl elected free agency after he was designated for assignment on July 9. He was assigned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Over seven career seasons, Dahl is a career .268 hitter with 46 homers and 169 RBIs in 350 games with the Colorado Rockies (2016, 2018-20), Texas Rangers (2021), San Diego Padres (2023) and Phillies. He was a National League All-Star in 2019.
