Evan Phillips served as a versatile, indispensable Dodgers reliever but missed the 2024 World Series due to an arm injury. He returned in 2025 but after seven appearances required Tommy John surgery. The Dodgers non-tendered him in a cost-saving move, making him a free agent while still generating hopes of a midseason return. The Red Sox have inquired about signing him. Phillips seeks a one-year 'bet-on-yourself' contract, aiming to reenter free agency in 2027. Typical recovery from Tommy John suggests availability around June or July, and contending teams remain interested.
