Evan Phillips, a right-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm discomfort after his return from a previous injury. Initially recovering from a rotator cuff tear sustained during the 2024 postseason, Phillips' preparation for the season was disrupted, resulting in missed games. Following an MRI revealing elbow inflammation, he received a PRP injection to aid recovery. Expected to return by late June, Phillips had shown promise before the setback, maintaining a 0.00 ERA in his appearances this season.
Right-hander Evan Phillips received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right elbow-flexor area earlier this week. Phillips said he has felt some improvement but is not quite pain-free yet and won't start a throwing program until he is. That could come next week, Phillips said.
Phillips managed to avoid shoulder surgery, although his normal preparation for the year and Spring Training were both delayed, which prompted beginning the season on the injured list.
Phillips is eligible to return from the IL on May 22, but that is going to be delayed and it seems the earliest he would get activated is near the end June if all goes well.
He holds a 0.00 ERA, 2.05 FIP, 9.53 strikeouts per nine, 3.18 walks per nine and 1.06 WHIP.
