Evan Phillips, a right-handed reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is set to undergo Tommy John surgery on June 4 due to an unresolved forearm injury, which was initially treated with rest and a PRP injection. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed disappointment over Phillips' lack of recovery. The surgery will sideline Phillips for 12-18 months, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2025 season and part of 2026. The Dodgers have struggled with pitching injuries, adding further challenges to their season efforts.
"More disappointed for Evan, but he just wasn't responding to the rest and then trying to ramp back up. Ultimately, (surgery) was kind of the advice and the route he decided to go."
"The recovery time for Tommy John surgery is estimated to be 12-18 months. Therefore, Phillips will miss the rest of the 2025 season and part of the 2026 season."
