"Evan Phillips, for example, became a free agent when the Los Angeles Dodgers declined to offer him a contract through the arbitration system. The right-handed reliever is recovering from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in June, a timeline that could put him back in action around the time that playoff contenders are searching for bullpen help at the trade deadline,"
"Phillips has developed into one of the game's best relievers since joining the Dodgers midway through the 2021 season. Across 201 appearances, Phillips has accrued a 2.22 ERA with 221 strikeouts and 45 saves across 195 innings. He had a 1.14 ERA across 64 appearances in 2022 and a 2.05 ERA over 62 appearances in 2023."
Evan Phillips became a free agent after the Los Angeles Dodgers declined to tender him a contract through arbitration. The right-handed reliever underwent Tommy John surgery in June and is expected to miss most or all of 2026. The Dodgers remain interested in re-signing Phillips, and the Chicago Cubs are among other teams likely to pursue him. Since joining the Dodgers in 2021, Phillips has a 2.22 ERA, 221 strikeouts and 45 saves over 195 innings in 201 appearances. He made seven scoreless appearances in 2025 before surgery and could return late in 2026 as a trade-deadline bullpen option.
