2024 Choice Lehigh Valley

Ricardo Pinto made a surprising return to the majors in 2024, but the reunion with the Phillies, his original club, was short-lived.  Pinto had his contract selected from Lehigh Valley on April 2nd, following the early season struggles of Connor Brogdon.  His first appearance in the majors since 2019 was a relative success as he pitched four innings of mop-up duty against the Reds, earning a save.  It was mostly downhill from there, and Pinto would appear in five more games, seeing his ERA rise to 10.97, before being designated for assignment.  He'd eventually report back to Lehigh Valley, but was released on August 12th.
