MLB Injury Replacement Rule Was Factor In Keeping Evan Phillips Off Dodgers' World Series Roster
Briefly

"Obviously Evan has been a huge part of the success we've had in the bullpen. Getting Alex Vesia back and Graterol obviously is really big for our 'pen. We've got a lot of talent down there. Even more than the talent of Evan, just the amount that he has poured into this, it's hard for him not to be a part of this," Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said.
"I know he's going to do everything he can with the guys in the 'pen to get them ready, but obviously it's really disappointing. But all of us are focused on the guys that we've added back, the guys we have down there, and the impact they can have."
"The trouble started for Phillips after his one inning of work in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series against the New York Mets. Even though Phillips' health progressed each day leading up to the World Series, it was not enough for the Dodgers to confidently include him on the roster."
