The Philadelphia Phillies acquired All-Star right-hander Michael Lorenzen from the Detroit Tigers prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline, according to published reports.

Detroit received minor league infielder Hao-Yu Lee in the deal.

Lorenzen, 31, was 5-7 with a 3.58 ERA in 18 starts this season. He has pitched 105 2/3 innings, the second most of a nine-year career in which he has mainly been a reliever.

Overall, Lorenzen is 36-36 with a 4.02 ERA in 331 career appearances (62 starts) with the Cincinnati Reds (2015-21), Los Angeles Angels (2022) and Tigers.

Lee, 20, was ranked as the Phillies’ No. 5 prospect by MLB Pipeline. The Taiwan native is batting .279 with five homers and 29 RBIs in 67 games this season — 64 games at High-A Jersey Shore and three in Rookie ball.
