Dahl signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies on Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
After inking a minor-league deal with the Dodgers last June, Dahl subsequently hit .282/.354/.493 with a 102 wRC+ in 54 games with Triple-A OKC according to Eric Stephen of SBNation.com. He will now look to make an impression in Philadelphia as an outfielder.

Dahl signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday, Alex Freedman of the Oklahoma City Dodgers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl was designated for assignment by the Padres and later elected free agency earlier in June, and he will now join the Dodgers' farm system. The 29-year-old outfielder holds a .722 OPS in Triple-A this season and would have to be added to the 40-man roster before making another appearance in the majors.

Dahl was released by the Padres on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl elected to become a free agent after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The oft-injured 29-year-old outfielder drew only nine major-league plate appearances during his stay in the Padres organization and recorded just one hit.

The Padres designated Dahl for assignment Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Adrian Morejon (elbow) returning from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Dahl will become the Padres' roster casualty. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .266/.347/.375 across 72 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and went 1-for-9 during a brief MLB stint at the beginning of the year.

Dahl was activated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl is recovered from his quad injury but will remain in El Paso for now and hope for a call-up. The 29-year-old is 1-for-9 at the plate during his short time with the Padres this season.

Dahl (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl has been on the injured list for just over a month due to a right quadriceps strain, but he's been cleared to return to game action at the minor-league level. Given the length of his absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Dahl appear in multiple games with the Triple-A club before rejoining the Padres.

The Padres placed Dahl on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right quadriceps strain.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl had been unavailable because of the quad strain over the past few games. The Padres will stash him on the IL for at least the next week, replacing Dahl on the 26-man active roster with utility man Brandon Dixon, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move. Rougned Odor, Jose Azocar and Dixon will be the main candidates to pick up time in right field in place of Dahl until Fernando Tatis (suspension) is eligible to make his season debut April 20.

Padres manager Bob Melvin told reporters before Saturday's game against Atlanta that Dahl is dealing with an upper quad injury, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As Cassavell notes in his report, this helps explain why right field has essentially become a platoon between Rougned Odor and Jose Azocar over the past few games. The outfielder could be available off the bench in the coming days, but it's also possible Dahl's unavailability could lead to a stint on the injured list.

Dahl is not in the Padres' lineup Thursday at Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Rougned Odor will cover right field and bat eighth against right-handed starter Spencer Strider. Jose Azocar is also sitting.

Dahl is starting in right field and batting eighth for the Padres on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl hit a pinch-hit, game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday to help the Padres to a 5-4 win over Arizona, and he'll be rewarded with a start in Tuesday's matinee versus the Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Jose Azocar and Rougned Odor are on the bench for this one.
