Right-handed reliever Evan Phillips has departed the Los Angeles Dodgers to return to Atlanta, leaving a major void in the Los Angeles bullpen ahead of the 2027 season. Following Phillips' exit, the Dodgers front office has begun actively scouting and inquiring about veteran relief options in free agency to reshape their late-inning bridge, targeting multiple high-profile relievers to fill the roster gap.
