Dodgers bring back Evan Phillips on a $6.5M deal as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery
The 31-year-old right-hander was limited to seven appearances last year before having Tommy John surgery in late May. The Dodgers didn't initially tender Phillips a contract for this season because he was still rehabbing from surgery, which made him a free agent. In 2023, Phillips became the team's closer and recorded a 2.05 ERA and 24 saves.
