Philadelphia Phillies

On November 5, 2021, Sherriff was claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies. Sherriff was shut down in late March due to biceps tendinitis, and was later transferred to the 60-day injured list on April 25, 2022. [52] On August 1, 2022, Sherriff was designated for assignment but was not claimed by another team from waivers, thus remaining in the Phillies organization with the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs. In 2022 he pitched for the Single-A Clearwater Threshers (two innings), Double-A Reading Fightin Phils (one inning), and Lehigh Valley (11.1 innings). [53] He was a combined 1-0 with a 2.51 ERA, as in 14.1 innings in relief he struck out 18 batters. [53] He elected free agency following the season on November 10. [54]

Boston Red Sox

On January 23, 2023, Sherriff signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox organization. [55] He began the year with the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox, making 15 appearances and working to a 3.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 15.0 innings pitched. On May 16, Sherriff's contract was selected to the active roster. [56] After making two one-inning appearances for Boston, he was optioned back to Worcester on May 18. [57] Sherriff was next recalled to Boston on May 30. [58]

In five games for Boston, Sherriff logged a 2.70 ERA with five strikeouts in 6+23 innings pitched, which included him pitching in both games of a doubleheader. [53] [59] On July 7, he was designated for assignment by the Red Sox after Yu Chang was activated from the injured list. [60] In 21 games for Worcester, he was 2-1 with two saves and a 2.82 ERA as in 22.1 innings he gave up 17 hits and had 24 strikeouts, and had a .207 batting average against. [61] [59] On July 10, Sherriff elected to become a free agent in lieu of accepting a minor-league assignment. [62]

Los Angeles Dodgers

On July 25, 2023, Sherriff signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. [63] In only two appearances in 1+23 innings of work for the Triple–A Oklahoma City Dodgers, as he was dealing with arm issues he allowed five runs with three strikeouts. On August 24, Sherriff was released by the Dodgers. [64] [65]

Sherriff retired following the 2023 season, at 33 years of age. [66] He wrote on Instagram: "13 years, 2 World Series appearances, (two-time) Triple-A All-Star (2016 & 2017), (one-time) (World Baseball Classic) qualifier, 28th round draft pick from Culver City, (California), I can definitely hang my cleats up knowing I gave it all I can." [67]

In January 2024 he said that he was open to a comeback. [59]

In his five major league seasons he was 3-2 with two saves and a 3.53 ERA in 49 games covering 51 innings, with a 52.6% ground ball rate. [68] [59] In his 12 minor league seasons Sherriff was 43-28 with 15 saves and a 3.08 ERA in 297 games covering 556 innings. [59]

International career; Team Israel

Sherriff's Jewish faith and heritage allow him to play for the Israeli national baseball team at international baseball tournaments, and he pitched with Team Israel for the qualifying rounds of the 2017 World Baseball Classic. [69] He was credited with a hold during the first game of the qualifying round, striking out the final batter for Great Britain in the eighth inning of a 5–2 Israel victory. [70] He had another hold in the next qualifying game, again finishing the eighth inning in a 1–0 win against Brazil. [71] Sherriff referred to the experience as "just so fun", and said that it was "a great honor" to represent Israel. [69]
