Zach Pop Reflects on 2026 Season After Brief Stint With Phillies

Zach Pop made seven relief appearances for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2026, posting a 3.68 ERA over 7.1 innings with six strikeouts. After impressing in spring training, he suffered a calf strain on April 13th that landed him on the injured list. Designated for assignment upon his return in late May, he cleared waivers and elected free agency before signing a minor league deal with the Miami Marlins, appearing in 26 minor league games with a 3.60 ERA.
