Evan Phillips

The Dodgers have a good bullpen, but they have been disappointing for fantasy managers, regardless of league format. However, amidst this disappointment, there may be an emerging name; a source for holds that’s only rostered in 5% of FanTrax leagues. His name is Evan Phillips. However, before addressing him...

Phillips (1-3) took the loss against Cleveland on Friday, allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter in one inning. The game went into extra frames, and Phillips was brought in for the top of the 10th. The only hit he gave up was an infield single, but it moved the designated runner to third base, and the Guardians subsequently tallied the winning run on a sacrifice fly. Despite the loss, Phillips finished with his eighth straight appearance without allowing an earned run, and he's notched a 10:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings during that span.

Thursday night was one to forget if you’re a Diamondbacks fan. But if you’re a Dodgers fan, it was packed with moments that made you smile coming off of a disappointing loss to the Nationals.

In addition to solid defensive work all around the infield, Hanser Alberto also has a .331/.351/.457 career mark against left-handed pitchers. That includes a single in two at-bats against southpaw Sean Manaea of the Padres. Sunday was just the third start in 15 Dodgers games for Alberto, who signed a...

Phillips is one of 16 pitchers on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster. Phillips pitched only 13.1 big-league innings during the 2021 regular season, but he was impressive in two NLCS appearances against Atlanta, tossing three scoreless frames during which he struck out six batters. The right-hander struggled in Cactus League play this year, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings, but the Dodgers elected to give him a spot in their Opening Day bullpen. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role to begin the campaign.

On Aug. 16, the Los Angeles Dodgers claimed Evan Phillips off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays in what was a move mostly focused on building their pitching depth.

One day there will be a trivia question where you’ll have to name every player that threw a pitch for the Dodgers in 2021. In case that situation ever arises, you’ll thank me for helping you remember Evan Phillips. After starting the season in the Orioles’ organization, Phillips was released...

Phillips (1-1) took the loss in Friday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing an unearned run on two walks with two strikeouts in one inning. Phillips was the final of 11 Los Angeles pitchers in Friday's extra-innings game, recording the last out of the 10th to send the game another inning. He walked two batters in the 11th and appeared to escape a bases-loaded, one-out jam, but second baseman Trea Turner botched a routine throw that resulted in Phillips' earning the loss. This was only Phillips' second appearance with the team due to an IL stint and he appears to be a backend bullpen guy judging by his use as the final pitcher in a long game Friday.
