Overview
- Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-2025 and is expected to miss most of the 2026 season after being non-tendered by the Dodgers in November.
- Team president Andrew Friedman said the Dodgers have held multiple discussions with Phillips’ camp and will revisit a signing after he throws off a mound.
- Phillips is reportedly seeking a one-year contract and could wait until he is closer to a midseason return before signing.
- During his Dodgers tenure, Phillips recorded a 2.22 ERA across 201 appearances and did not allow a run in 12 postseason outings.
- Los Angeles signed All-Star closer Edwin Díaz this offseason, and a healthy Phillips could project as a late-inning option according to roster analyses.
