PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies signed veteran utility player Josh Harrison to a Minor League deal on Tuesday with an invitation to Major League Spring Training.

A two-time All-Star, Harrison was limited to just 36 games with the Tigers during an injury-plagued 2019 campaign after spending his first eight seasons with the Pirates. Harrison missed two weeks early in the season with a left shoulder contusion before returning on May 13. He then sustained a strained left hamstring just two weeks later that kept him on the injured list for two and a half months.

The 32-year-old Harrison has spent time at second base, third base, shortstop and both corner outfield spots over his nine-year career. Harrison's versatility would figure to provide a boost, whether coming off the bench or filling a potential open infield spot. That said, the Phillies are likely far from done addressing their infield this offseason.

Second baseman C¨¦sar Hern¨¢ndez and third baseman Maikel Franco are both potential non-tender candidates for the Phils, who are expected to pursue a third baseman from outside the organization. As for second base, Scott Kingery could take over the position on a full-time basis, though the Phillies seem to like his versatility of playing second, short, third or center field.

Philadelphia has also been rumored to have some interest in free-agent shortstop Didi Gregorius, a move that would shuffle the infield even further. Adding Gregorius would likely slide Jean Segura to second base and leave either Kingery or a newcomer to man the hot corner.

As for Harrison, he has a .273 career average and a .714 career OPS. He had a career year in 2014, posting a .315/.347/.490 slash line (all career highs) to go with 13 homers and 18 stolen bases, while earning the first of his two All-Star selections (also '17) and finishing ninth in National League Most Valuable Player Award voting.
