Busy since activation Phillips, who was activated from the injured list Friday, has logged three starts -- all in center field -- in his first four games.
Impact Phillips' best performance yet came in Monday's win over the Rangers, when he went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and his first stolen base of the campaign. The 26-year-old should continue seeing regular playing time during Kevin Kiermaier's (quadriceps) multi-week absence.

Still 'a ways out' from returning Phillips (hamstring) has been working diligently on his rehabilitation but remains "a ways out" from returning according to manager Kevin Cash, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Impact Phillips was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain March 15 and projected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, so this report essentially conforms with that timeframe. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as a backup option at all three outfield spots when healthy.

To miss 3-4 weeks Phillips was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain and will miss 3-to-4 weeks, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.
Impact Phillips will likely open the year on the 10-day injured list. This could test the Rays' depth, as Ji-Man Choi (knee) could also open the year on the shelf. Austin Meadows, Randy Arozarena, Kevin Kiermaier and Manuel Margot will likely be leaned on heavily to start the season.

MRI on tap Rays manager Kevin Cash said Phillips (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Phillips was still sore one day after exiting the Rays' game against Atlanta with left hamstring tightness, so the team will send him in for imaging to gain a better idea on the extent of his injury. If Phillips is diagnosed with even a low-grade strain following his MRI, his chances of breaking camp with the Rays would take a significant hit.

Tending to tight hammy Phillips was removed from Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves due to left hamstring tightness, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Phillips, who started in center field, went 1-for-1 with a double and a run scored before the injury forced him out of the contest. The Rays will likely re-evaluate Phillips in the next day or two before determining when he might be fit to return to Grapefruit League action.
