Ruiz had an 8.16 ERA in 14 1/3 innings this season, including allowing five runs in one inning of Saturday's 17-7 loss to the Brewers. The 30-year-old right-hander had a 5-1 record and 3.71 ERA in 52 appearances in 2024. The move is part of a bigger restructuring of the Phillies' bullpen.

'I think Tai's got a chance to make us a lot better coming out of the 'pen,' Thomson said. Abel made his major league debut on May 18, throwing six scoreless innings.
