Evan Phillips's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Evan Phillips tossed a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Phillips struck out one and did not allow a baserunner on the way to converting his 13th save in as many opportunities in 2024. The veteran is putting together another excellent season as the Dodgers' primary closer, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 25 strikeouts over 22 2/3 innings of work. He is a valuable asset in fantasy in any league that rewards saves or holds.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Evan Phillips (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday's game. The right-hander is set to make his return after missing time due to a hamstring strain. The expectation is that Phillips is going to slide back into the closer role. Daniel Hudson and Blake Treinen did a solid job covering for Phillips, but they should slide back into set-up roles now. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Phillips off the IL and back in their lineups on Friday.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Tuesday's series opener against the hosting New York Mets that if all goes well with closer Evan Phillips (hamstring), he will return on Friday for the start of a weekend series against the division-rival Colorado Rockies. Phillips has logged one outing on his minor-league rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga as he works his way back from Grade 1 right hamstring strain, and he'll likely make another appearance or two before the Dodgers activate him from the injured list. Over 14 appearances before going down, the 29-year-old right-hander allowed a single run with a 17:4 K:BB and converted each of his eight save chances over 13 2/3 innings of work as LA's established closer. Veteran Daniel Hudson figures to be first in line for save opportunities for the early part of Week 10 of fantasy baseball.
