EDGE Analysis

Phillips made seven starts for Philadelphia in 2024, but he's been deployed exclusively as a reliever during his first season in Miami. Though he's in line for his first start of 2025 while taking on his former team, Phillips isn't expected to cover much more than an inning or two before turning the game over to the bullpen. Sunday had been Adam Mazur's turn in the rotation, so Mazur could be deployed in bulk relief behind Phillips.

EDGE Analysis

Starter Edward Cabrera lasted only three innings and left the mound with Miami ahead 6-2, and the official scorer gave the win to Phillips after he recorded the first two outs in the fourth.

EDGE Analysis

Making his Marlins debut, the 27-year-old righty took over from Connor Gillispie in the sixth inning and kept the Bucs at bay over an efficient 23 pitches (15 strikes). Seven of Phillips' eight appearances last year with Philadelphia were starts, and he could be needed for swingman duties in Miami as the team deals with a rash of rotation injuries. While he had some initial success with the Phillies last season, including a four-hit shutout of the Guardians on July 27, he got tagged for 23 earned runs over only 11.2 innings from Aug. 1 on and will be a risky fantasy option if he is eventually needed in the Marlins' rotation.
