Phillippe Aumont: Announces retirement
Aumont announced in June that he would retire from professional baseball, CBC News reports.
Aumont attended spring training with the Blue Jays after agreeing to a minor-league deal over the winter, but he wasn't added to the 60-man roster pool for summer camp after electing to step away from baseball and take up farming as his next career. A first-round pick of the Phillies in 2007, the 31-year-old Aumont appeared in 46 career MLB games, logging a 6.80 ERA in 43.2 innings.

Blue Jays' Phillippe Aumont: Shut down with skin irritation
Aumont was shut down from throwing due to skin irritation on his right elbow, Jamie Campbell of Sportsnet reports.
Aumont is in big-league camp as a non-roster invitee, and he's allowed three runs on three hits over three innings during spring training. The injury appears minor, but the 31-year-old won't be playing in the Olympic qualifier for Team Canada on March 22 as previously scheduled. Aumont spent 2019 in the independent Canadian-American Association and hasn't seen major-league action since 2015.

The Canadian owns a 6.80 ERA and a 15.6 percent walk rate in 43.2 major-league innings, none of which have come since 2015. He's spent two of the last three years with the Ottawa Champions of the independent Canadian-American Association, posting a 2.65 ERA in 18 starts this past season.

Phillippe Aumont: Leaves for indy league
Aumont signed with the Ottawa Champions of the independent Canadian American Association on Friday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
Aumont was once a good enough prospect to have been drafted 11th overall and to headline a Cliff Lee trade, but his control never developed. He recorded a 6.80 ERA with a 15.6 percent walk rate over 43.2 innings with the Phillies from 2012 to 2015 and has been out of the big leagues since. He spent 2018 in the Tigers' system, recording a 6.23 ERA in the high minors. The Canadian will return for a second stint with Ottawa after starting 17 games there with a 4.51 ERA in 2017.

Tigers' Phillippe Aumont: Inks minors deal with Tigers
Aumont agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Monday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.
Aumont, who was once a top prospect for the Mariners and then the Phillies, is looking to return to the majors after pitching in Canada last season (4.51 ERA and 103:30 K:BB across 17 starts). He was never able to put it together at the highest level, posting a 6.80 ERA and 1.99 WHIP over 43.2 innings with the Phillies. The soon-to-be 29-year-old will likely serve as organizational pitching depth next season.

White Sox's Phillippe Aumont: Signs Minor League Deal With White Sox
Aumont signed a minor league deal with the White Sox on Monday, Josh Norris of Baseball America reports.
Aumont once rated as a top-100 prospect and was included in a Clif Lee trade, but he has yet to do much in his 46 career major league appearances, and he did nil in the Blue Jays' organization after signing mid-2015. He will attempt to resurrect his career in a White Sox's organization that has previously revived previously-heralded arms.
