Oct 11, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Evan Phillips (59) reacts after being relieved in the seventh inning against the San Diego Padres during game five of the NLDS for the 2024 MLB Playoffs at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips is ticketed for Tommy John surgery, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced Friday prior to the team’s home game with the New York Yankees.
The 30-year-old Roberts has been an important member of the Dodgers’ bullpen for the last three-plus years — highlighted by a 1.14 ERA as a middle reliever in 2022, 24 saves in 2023 and 18 saves for last year’s World Series champions — but he was able to pitch in just seven games this season.
Phillips didn’t allow any runs in his 5.2 innings, but he missed Opening Day due to rotator cuff concerns and went to the 15-day injured list on May 7 with right elbow woes. When Phillips’ health did not improve, the Dodgers discovered he’ll need surgery that should sideline him deep into the 2026 season.
Since the Dodgers grabbed Phillips off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays in August 2021, the right-hander has delivered a 15-9 record with 45 saves, a 2.222 ERA and 201 strikeouts versus 52 walks over 195 innings.
Phillips was shifted Thursday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day to make room for reliever Alexis Diaz, who was acquired from the Cincinnati Reds.
Phillips joined 10 pitchers on the Dodgers’ 60-day injured list: Brusdar Graterol, Michael Grove, Edgardo Henriquez, Kyle Hurt, Michael Kopech, River Ryan, Emmet Sheehan, Blake Snell, Gavin Stone and Blake Treinen.
Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki and Kirby Yates are on the team’s 15-day IL.

Kilmarnock rue missed chances in goalless draw with Dundee
Kilmarnock were left to rue some wasteful second-half finishing as they were held to a 0-0 draw with Dundee at Rugby Park.Substitute Bruce Anderson passed up the game's best opportunity as he glanced a header wide, while Jamie Brandon and David Watson also came close as Killie drew for the third straight Premiership match. Dundee started brightly and Joe Westley had an early goal ruled out for offside by VAR but the Dark Blues faded badly and they will be content to leave with a point. Young Killie wing-back Ben Brannan has been one of their stars in the early part of the season and he had the first chance in the fourth minute, forcing a smart low save from Jon McCracken with an effort from distance after a well-worked corner routine.The away side suffered an early blow in the […]

Image: Celtic fans once again protested against the board Frustrated by perceived transfer inactivity in recent weeks, fans chanted 'sack the board' during and after the goalless draw against Kairat Almaty in the first leg of the Champions League play-off in […]
