The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing significant injury challenges within their pitching staff, recently placing Evan Phillips on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm discomfort. Manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism regarding Phillips' recovery, emphasizing that the decision to place him on the IL was a precautionary measure. Phillips shared his frustration but acknowledged the need for caution, stating he initially thought his soreness was a natural part of returning from an earlier absence. He remains hopeful for a quick recovery and a return to the mound.
"He just has some arm soreness. It's just not recovering. Could he have pitched today? Absolutely. I just don't know, and no one knows, how he would feel going forward."
"I thought it was just re-acclimating to the workload. I always felt good when I pitched, so that's kind of where my disappointment comes in... But I think what it comes down to is we don't want to mess around with something in early May."
