On Monday, following another pour outing by Philips on Sunday night, manager Dave Roberts declined to name him the closer of the Dodgers.
Phillips has emerged as the Dodgers' closer over the last few seasons due to his innate ability to pitch in any situation, but especially high-leverage ones.
In July, Phillips has allowed eight earned runs in 6.1 innings, with his ERA soaring to 3.77 and a particularly concerning 11.37 in the month alone.
Daniel Hudson has shown as a more reliable option with a 1.52 ERA and seven saves, potentially overshadowing Phillips as the current top closer.
