Phillips (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has been on the injured list since early May due to inflammation in his elbow. He attempted to play catch following a two-week shutdown but didn't respond well, and the 30-year-old righty will now go under the knife to address the issue. The procedure will put an early end to his 2025 campaign after 5.2 shutout innings, and he's likely to miss the vast majority of 2026 as well.

The Dodgers transferred Phillips (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was originally supposed to be shut down from throwing for two weeks after landing on the injured list May 7 with elbow inflammation, but it's now been three weeks, and the right-hander still has yet to start a throwing program. With no return timeline in place, the 30-year-old will give up his spot on the 40-man roster for the newly acquired Alexis Diaz. Phillips is now ineligible to return from the IL until July 6.

Phillips (elbow) hasn't started a throwing progression yet, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm discomfort May 7, which was attributed to inflammation in his elbow. The right-hander was initially supposed to be shut down from throwing for two weeks, but he's yet to begin a throwing program. Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that "it's starting to get a little concerning" that Phillips hasn't begun throwing yet. The relief pitcher appears to be multiple weeks away from returning to action, and he may end up having to be re-evaluated in the near future.

Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Phillips will be shut down from throwing for two weeks after MRI results revealed inflammation in his right elbow, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips landed on the injured list Wednesday due to discomfort in his forearm, and it now seems like he's due for another extended stay on the IL after being sidelined for the first month of the year due to an injured shoulder. A timeline for the 30-year-old's return may emerge once he's cleared to begin throwing.

The Dodgers placed Phillips on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm discomfort, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander made his season debut in mid-April after missing the first few weeks of the campaign due to a shoulder strain, but he's headed back to the IL after just seven appearances. It's unclear when the forearm issue surfaced for Phillips, but he was pitching well with four hits allowed and a 6:2 K:BB across 5.2 scoreless innings. He'll be eligible to be reinstated May 21 but could require a longer absence given the nature of the injury.

Phillips picked up the save in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta after working around one walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

In a somewhat interesting development, left-handed closer Tanner Scott was called upon to retire the bottom part of Atlanta's lineup, which included two right-handed batters, in the eighth inning for a hold. Phillips then replaced him in the ninth after a rain delay with the daunting task of putting out Austin Riley, Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson, the last of whom drew a walk to get the possible tying run aboard before Phillips got Sean Murphy to ground out. It was the first save opportunity of the season for Phillips, who is now up to 4.2 scoreless innings with a 6:2 K:BB in six appearances this year.

The Dodgers activated Phillips (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips was expected to return from the injured list next week, but he will rejoin the Dodgers on Saturday after Blake Treinen (forearm) was placed on the IL in a corresponding move. Phillips has not pitched since Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets in October due to a right shoulder strain, but he's appeared in six rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City and has been cleared to return to the majors. Across those six rehab outings, Phillips registered a 6.35 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB across 5.2 innings.

Phillips (shoulder) is expected to return to the Dodgers' lineup during their series against the Cubs starting April 22, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips has been battling through a right shoulder strain since October, which prevented him from being on the Dodgers' World Series roster. He started the season on the 15-day injured list and embarked on his rehab assignment Triple-A Oklahoma City on April 3, where he has allowed six runs (four earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out nine across 5.2 innings. Barring any setbacks, Phillips should return to the Dodgers' bullpen next week.

Phillips (shoulder) struck out a batter and allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of relief during his rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips made the sixth appearance of his rehab assignment, and perhaps most notably, he pitched on consecutive days for the first time during his assignment. He was roughed up for two runs on three hits over one inning Tuesday, but Phillips was much sharper Wednesday in a high-leverage spot. He entered the game with two runners on and no outs, but after striking out a batter and then allowing a single to load the bases, he induced a game-ending double play to secure the save. Provided that the Dodgers are satisfied with the condition on his shoulder coming out of Wednesday's appearance, Phillips could be activated from the 15-day injured list this weekend to make his season debut for the big club.

Phillips (shoulder) allowed two runs on three hits while striking out two batters in one inning during a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

While Phillips struggled Tuesday, he also had some bad fortune, as one of the hits he allowed was a grounder off the end of the bat and another was a soft liner over the head of the first baseman. Still, it's been a rough rehab stint so far for Phillips, as he has a 7.71 ERA across five appearances covering 4.2 frames. The Dodgers will likely be more focused on Phillips' strong 8:1 K:BB so far, though, and it wouldn't be surprising if the veteran reliever is activated off the IL in the near future.
