    Evan Phillips will come off the 60-day injured list prior to Monday’s game against the Rockies.

    It was originally reported that Phillips would be with the Dodgers on Sunday, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts clarified that will now take place Monday. The right-hander will be a bridge for the Los Angeles bullpen in the mid-to-late innings.

    Phillips blossomed into one of the most effective high-leverage relievers in baseball after being acquired by Los Angeles back in 2021. The 31-year-old has finally made it back after undergoing Tommy John surgery last June. He figures to operate in low-leverage spots initially, but should factor into the Dodgers late-inning mix down the home stretch.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    Phillips has missed all of 2026 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old will likely be eased into work after missing the first three months of the campaign, but should be a high-leverage option in the second half of 2026. Just keep in mind that save chances won’t be guaranteed.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    Phillips allowed one hit and one walk, but also struck out a batter and didn’t let any runs cross the plate. In 5 2/3 innings at Triple-A this season, he has allowed on runs on five hits with a 5/4 K/BB ratio. Obviously, command is going to be the last thing to return after Tommy John surgery, but Phillips looks close to returning to the Dodgers’ bullpen.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    The 31-year-old allowed one hit, one walk, and hit a batter while striking out one. It wasn’t a flawless outing, but Phillips has now thrown 2 2/3 scoreless innings at Triple-A while walking three, striking out three, and allowing two hits. He will need a couple more appearances as he continues to shake the rust off in his return from Tommy John surgery.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    Phillips progressed to facing hitters for the third time since last year’s Tommy John surgery. He got in a pair of appearances earlier this month at extended spring training out in Arizona. The 31-year-old former closer figures to be ready to rejoin Los Angeles’ high-leverage mix at some point around midseason.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    The 31-year-old right-hander continues to progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, but he’s expected to be out until at least July, which means that this move was inevitable. He should be able to provide an already stacked Dodgers’ bullpen with a boost for the second half of the 2026 season.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    Phillips was non-tendered in November but returns at the precipice of Spring Training. He pitched in just seven games for the Dodgers last year, with a 0.00 ERA and six strikeouts in 5.2 innings pitched. The contract says Phillips should have a shot at a roster spot when healthy, but he’s recovering from Tommy John surgery and is expected to be out until July. The Dodgers now have Edwin Diaz on hand, so despite how well Phillips has pitched, he has no closer appeal without a Diaz injury even once healthy.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #59
    Phillips is probably out until midseason after Tommy John surgery and was going to be a free agent after next season anyway, so his projected $6 million salary in arbitration was excessive. There should be wide interest in him on a cheaper deal, maybe one with an option for 2027. He has a 2,66 ERA in 121 2/3 innings the last three seasons.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    It sounded ominous when the Dodgers moved him to the 60-day injured list earlier this week and didn’t provide much of an update on his status. We have some clarity now and it’s unfortunately a worst-case scenario. Phillips tried playing catch a couple of days ago and it didn’t go well, prompting another examination and the ultimate diagnosis of the torn UCL. He’ll miss the remainder of the 2025 season and a large chunk of the 2026 campaign as well while recovering.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #59
    The Dodgers needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Alexis Díaz on Thursday and did so by shuffling Phillips to the 60-day IL. His recent MRI revealed only inflammation in his right elbow and the Dodgers had been hopeful that he would only require a minimum stint on the injured list, so it’s a bit surprising to hear that he’ll now be shelved until the middle of July at the earliest. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues who had been hoping that Phillips could work his way into the saves mix can safely cut bait.

    Max Muncy went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in a win over the Mariners on Friday.

    Muncy hit the first of four homer off Logan Gilbert; all in the third inning. The 24-year-old has homered eight times with a less-than-ideal .224/.293/.384 slash, but it’s worth noting that he’s still just 24, and there have been some good moments for the former first-round selection.

    Cal Raleigh homered and doubled while driving in two runs in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

    Raleigh drew a walk as well, and scored three runs. He torched a homer off Kade Morris to tie the game at 5-5 in the third inning, and it’s the 21st roundtripper of the season for the backstop. There’s nothing that he can do to call this a quality season over the final three weeks, but this is still nice to see for those who are considering using a draft pick on Raleigh in 2027.

    Zack Gelof homered and tripled to help the Athletics to a 7-6 win over the Mariners on Friday.

    Gelof has homered in three-straight games, and he hit the fourth and final homer of the third inning off Logan Gilbert to give the A’s a 5-2 lead. His homer was his 17th, and the triple was the second of the 2026 campaign. Gelof has looked the part as of late, and reminded why he was one of the top hitting prospects in baseball not all that long ago.

    Hogan Harris worked a scoreless ninth inning to pick up another save Friday against the Mariners.

    Harris did issue a walk to Randy Arozarena, but he was able to get through the outing without a run allowed to get his 15th save and see his ERA dip to 3.38.

    Kade Morris allowed five runs in 2 1/3 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

    Morris wasn’t ever likely to go deep enough for a win, but stood even less chance when he gave up a five-spot with two of those runs coming on a homer from Cal Raleigh. The 24-year-old could work in a similar role next week, but obviously there’s no fantasy upside here.

    Logan Gilbert struck out 10 and allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

    Ten strikeouts is really good. Ten strikeouts and four homers allowed kinda defeats the purpose, and that’s what Gilbert allowed Friday. Even crazier, all four of them came in the fourth inning, with a pair coming from the bottom of the lineup. Coming into the year, the 29-year-old had been excellent in his friendly home surroundings. The 2026 season has seen several clunkers like this as seen in an ERA of 3.99 at home compared to 2.70 away. He’ll try and get back on track against the Rangers in Seattle on Thursday.

    Kyle Tucker homered and scored twice in a win over the Nationals on Friday.

    It was Tucker’s first homer since August 8, and just the 12th of the season for the 29-year-old. It hasn’t hurt the Dodgers much, but Tucker has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball in his first season in Los Angeles with a slash of just .226/.327/.359.

    Blake Snell went six scoreless and struck out seven to pick up a win in the Dodgers’ 5-3 win over the Nationals on Friday.

    Snell threw 100 pitches, and 65 of those landed for strikes. It wasn’t as dominant as his start last weekend against the Tigers when he whiffed 10, but he was just as effective, if not more so. The 33-year-old has been sensational when healthy enough to pitch in 2026, and his ERA is now at a healthy 1.97. Obviously, Snell has to be in fantasy lineups for Wednesday’s scheduled start at home versus the Reds.

    Jackson Kent gave up four runs — three earned — to the Dodgers over five innings in a loss for the Nationals on Friday.

    Kent gave up three runs in the third and an unearned one in the fourth. The 23-year-old was excellent in his previous outing against the Marlins with seven innings of one-run baseball, but he didn’t face the Marlins in this one. Kent walked four, struck out four and has looked mediocre — at best — thus far in his limited MLB action. He’ll take a 5.55 ERA into a start scheduled for Wednesday against the Padres.

    Luis Campusano hit a walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Padres a 3-2 win over the Yankees on Friday.

    Campusano also singled. The 27-year-old continued his strong campaign at the plate by taking Paul Blackburn deep in the bottom of the 10th to give the Padres a much-needed win in their quest to clinch one of the final postseason berths in the National League. He’s been limited to just 56 games, but in those contests he’s now hit six homers, driven in 25 runs and slashed .283/.364/.465. You can do a heck of a lot worse than that.
