"Phillips joined the Dodgers organization in August 2021, when he was claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays, and since then, he became one of the top relievers in baseball. Since the start of the 2022 season, Phillips has posted a 2.14 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 184.2 innings for the Dodgers, striking out 10.33 hitters per nine innings while walking just 2.29 per nine."
"The Red Sox inquired with free agent reliever Evan Phillips, who had Tommy John surgery in June. Phillips had a delayed start to the 2025 season because of right shoulder trouble that prevented him from pitching in the 2024 World Series against the New York Yankees. Further examination of Phillips' injury revealed he sustained a small tear in the back of the rotator cuff in his right shoulder. After he managed to make a recovery from that, the right-hander pitched in just seven games before it was determined he needed Tommy John."
Evan Phillips was non-tendered by the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 2026 season despite being arbitration-eligible and a projected $6.1 million tender. The Dodgers opted to make him a free agent while maintaining interest in a potential return on a lower-cost deal. Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery in June and is expected to miss roughly half of the 2026 season. Phillips experienced right shoulder trouble in 2025, including a small rotator cuff tear, and managed only seven appearances before the Tommy John diagnosis. The Boston Red Sox have inquired about Phillips as a potential signing.
