The right-hander spent the last two seasons with the Phillies, but was designated for assignment last week to make room for Josh Harrison.
Coonrod appeared in relief for Philadelphia a total of 54 times during his two seasons. Last year he had a 7.82 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 12 appearances.
Overall, in four big league seasons, he has a 5.27 ERA, 1.37 WHIP in 97.1 innings pitched.
He missed most of last season, appearing in just 12 games with a shoulder injury.
