Evan Phillips of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been placed on a 15-day injured list due to right forearm inflammation, with additional MRI results showing recent elbow inflammation. Initially expected to return by May 22, the prognosis now outlines an extended timeline, as he will not resume throwing for several weeks. The Dodgers are emphasizing a cautious approach regarding Phillipsâ recovery due to his value to the team. With prior injury complications this season, Phillips had recently recorded solid performances prior to this setback, raising concerns for the already stressed Dodgers bullpen.
It's inflammation in his elbow so it's just going to take some time. We're going to take some time with Evan because he's so valuable going forward.
Phillips began the 2025 season on the IL because of a right shoulder issue the Dodgers classified as a rotator cuff strain.
He made his first appearance of the season on April 19 against the Texas Rangers, pitching 5.2 scoreless innings and adding key support to the bullpen.
An MRI revealed inflammation in his elbow but no structural 'incidents'; the Dodgers will handle Phillips cautiously, postponing his throwing for a couple weeks.
