The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed reliever Evan Phillips on the injured list due to right forearm discomfort. Having only made seven appearances in 2025, Phillips expressed disappointment, believing he could contribute despite the injury. The team's manager, Dave Roberts, emphasized the precautionary nature of the decision as the team deals with numerous injuries, as they currently have 13 pitchers on the IL. Phillips had a strong start to the season, not allowing a run and showcasing significant strikeout capabilities, raising concerns about the impact of these injuries on the Dodgers' bullpen performance.
"I thought it was just reacclimating to the workload. I always felt good when I pitched, so that's kind of where my disappointment comes in."
"Could he have pitched today? Absolutely. No one knows how he would feel responding going forward. So I think for us, it just made the most sense to IL him."
