Evan Phillips Re-Signs with Dodgers After Tommy John Surgery

Evan Phillips has re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. The right-handed relief pitcher was non-tendered in November, six months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Phillips was dominant before his injury, particularly against right-handed hitters, and boasts a 0.00 ERA across 12 playoff games. He is expected to join the Dodgers sometime this summer, potentially bolstering a revamped bullpen that now features Edwin Diaz as closer, a shift from the team's previous closer-by-committee approach.
