Phillips' contract was selected by the Rays on Thursday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Phillips joined the Rays on a minor-league deal last week and allowed a run on four hits and no walks while striking out three in 3.1 innings across two appearances (one start) at Triple-A Durham. He'll join the big-league bullpen after Dietrich Enns was optioned to Durham in a corresponding move.
