Phillies Reunite With Veteran Backstop Quickly After Yankees Cut

The Philadelphia Phillies have reacquired catcher Payton Henry, age 29, just days after he was released by the New York Yankees. Henry was photographed during a spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at LECOM Park in Bradenton, Florida on February 23, 2026. The move represents a quick reunion between the Phillies and the veteran backstop following his departure from New York.
