The Phillies acquired Hoffman from the Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations. Philadelphia selected Hoffman's contract and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Hoffman has been at Triple-A Round Rock all season, collecting a 5.91 ERA and 46:21 K:BB over 35 innings. The 27-year-old has not made an appearance in the big leagues, but he'll now get a spot on Philadelphia's 40-man roster and could have a clearer path to making his MLB debut later on this season.

Hoffman signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Thursday and received an invitation to spring training.
Hoffman spent all of last season with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate, where he finished with a 3.88 ERA and 1.74 WHIP with 77 strikeouts over 58 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander has yet to appear in an MLB game and is likely destined to remain in the minors to begin 2025.
