"He had a respectable 3.48 ERA in his first season with the Dodgers, pitching 10.1 innings through seven appearances. Phillips took on a larger role in the subsequent season, posting a dominant 1.14 ERA through 64 appearances, and setting a career high with seven wins on the season. He also managed a career high in strikeouts that season, notching 77 Ks through 63 innings pitched."
"2024 didn't go quite as well as the previous two seasons, though Phillips still played an important role in the Dodgers' push for the World Series. He threw in 61 games, passing the 60 mark for the third time in as many seasons, and has a 3.62 ERA. The 31-year-old made seven appearances in the 2025 season before landing on the injured list, not allowing a run through 5.2 innings pitched."
The Dodgers remain active in seeking relief pitching and are considering re-signing Evan Phillips even though he is unlikely to play much of 2026 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2025. The club non-tendered Phillips rather than pay arbitration but keeps him on its radar for future bullpen depth. Phillips excelled after joining Los Angeles in 2021, posting a 1.14 ERA across 64 appearances and serving as primary closer in 2023 with 24 saves. He continued to contribute through 2024 and made seven 2025 appearances before going on the injured list. Re-signing would provide an experienced, MLB-proven arm for upcoming seasons.
