Hicklen, 29, was designated for assignment Wednesday, July 23, in the Troy Melton roster move. Hicklen played one game for the Tigers, called up for a doubleheader in May against the Colorado Rockies, going 2-for-3 with a walk, stolen base and two runs scored in an 11-1 victory.
He appeared in 61 games this season for Triple-A Toledo and hit .227 with eight home runs, 31 RBIs and 18 stolen bases.
Hicklen was drafted in the seventh round of the 2017 MLB Draft out of UAB by the Kansas City Royals.
The Phillies are led by president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski, a former longtime Tigers executive.
The MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31, where the division-leading Tigers will be buyers for the first time in years.

Florida QB DJ Lagway practices for the 1st time in camp while recovering from a calf injury
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway practiced Saturday for the first time since camp opened, a sign of progress for the highly touted and oft-injured sophomore. Lagway is dealing with a strained calf and was expected to take limited practice reps. He wore a sleeve on his left leg, the same one that caused him to miss a game and a half last season. He strained a hamstring against rival Georgia and missed the following week's game at Texas. Coach Billy Napier has offered no timetable on his star player's return. It's the latest injury issue for Lagway, who missed spring practice with a shoulder injury after undergoing sports hernia surgery. The Gators opened training camp Wednesday. Napier, unlike in previous years, closed viewing periods to media for the first three days. Lagway, who went 6-1 in seven starts as a freshman in 2024, is widely considered a Heisman Trophy contender heading into this season. But he's barely been on the field at a time when he could be making significant strides. He was limited during spring practice because of the right shoulder injury that could eventually need surgery. He resumed throwing in late April and said earlier this month at Southeastern Conference media days he would fully participate in camp. But then he strained a calf muscle while running with the team last week. Lagway completed 60% of his passes for 1,915 yards, with 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2024. He took over the starting role after Graham Mertz tore a knee ligament at Tennessee in October. Behind Lagway are journeyman Harrison Bailey and sophomore Aidan Warner. Bailey played at Tennessee, UNLV and Louisville before transferring to Florida earlier this year. Warner subbed for Lagway last year and was mostly ineffective. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and
