The Phillies non-tendered Mercado on Friday. Mercado's time in the Phillies organization will come to an end after giving up 21 earned runs across just 16 innings in the majors. He finished 2025 with a more respectable 4.68 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 48 frames at Triple-A and will now likely seek out a minor-league deal during the offseason.

The Phillies optioned Mercado to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. After being called up from Triple-A on June 11, Mercado made three relief appearances during his week-and-a-half-long stay with the Phillies, covering three innings while allowing five earned runs on seven hits and four walks. The Phillies recalled right-hander Alan Rangel from Lehigh Valley to replace Mercado as a lower-leverage, multi-inning option out of the bullpen.

The Phillies recalled Mercado from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. Mercado will get his first call-up of the season after he previously made five appearances (two starts) for Philadelphia in 2024. After serving as a swingman between his stops in the minors and majors last season, Mercado has worked exclusively as a reliever for Lehigh Valley in 2025. Over his 17 appearances covering 20.1 innings, Mercado notched a 5.31 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB. He's likely to fill a lower-leverage role out of the Phillies bullpen.

The Phillies optioned Mercado to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. Mercado had a rough spring, posting a 7.04 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The 25-year-old also struggled during his first look at the majors last year, posting an 11.08 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 13 regular-season frames. Mercado put up solid numbers with Lehigh Valley last year, and he could get another call-up at some point in 2025 if he continues to show development in the minors.
