The Phillies acquired McIntosh and left-hander Jesus Luzardo (back) from the Marlins on Sunday in exchange for prospects Starlyn Caba and Emaarion Boyd, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
McIntosh will round out the deal and provide Philadelphia with organizational catching depth. The 27-year-old spent the 2024 season at Double-A Pensacola and had a .249/.338/.388 slash line with 12 homers and seven steals in 116 games.

McIntosh has struggled in his initial exposure to the International League, striking out at a 45.5 percent clip thus far while failing to draw a walk in his six games.

Marlins' Paul McIntosh: On IL at Double-A
Rotowire
McIntosh is on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Pensacola with an undisclosed injury.
He has not played since May 2 and was officially placed on the IL on May 9. McIntosh is old for a Double-A prospect, as he turns 26 in November, but he didn't sign until he was 24, so he was a late entry into pro ball. He has a career .262/.377/.477 slash line with 17 home runs and 10 steals in 103 games at Double-A.
