Phillips has been racking up home runs the conventional way too lately -- five of his 10 on the season have come in his last seven starts dating back to July 29, a stretch during which he's slashing .269/.296/.885 with 15 RBI.

Slugs grand slam Thursday Phillips went 1-for-4 with a grand slam home run in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.

Impact Given the 14-0 final score, there were obviously no shortage of big hits for the Rays, but Phillips provided the most momentous with his sixth-inning grand slam. The utilityman continues to put plenty of good wood on the ball, as he now has 15 extra-base hits (seven doubles, two triples, six home runs), which have helped lead to 24 RBI on just 38 hits overall. Phillips has added 12 steals, helping ameliorate the sting of his lackluster .210/.308/.370 slash line.

Records 12th steal Phillips went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Phillips provided a pair of singles as the only Tampa Bay hitter with a multi-hit effort Sunday. He added a stolen base, his 12th in 15 attempts this season. The 27-year-old outfielder lifted his slash line to .213/.313/.362 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 32 runs scored across 203 plate appearances. He'll continue to serve mostly as a fourth outfielder to cover for when Kevin Kiermaier or Randy Arozarena need days off.

Pops fifth homer Phillips went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over Cleveland.

Impact Getting the start in right field and batting ninth, Phillips took J.C. Mejia deep in the third inning. The 27-year-old's defense and athleticism make him a solid fourth outfielder for the Rays, and he's provided some modest fantasy value in deep formats by slashing .205/.308/.357 with five homers, 11 steals, 20 RBI and 32 runs through 200 plate appearances on the season.

Rips three-bagger in win Phillips went 1-for-3 with a triple in a win over the Orioles on Wednesday.

Impact Phillips made good use of one of his occasional starts, producing his second three-bagger of the campaign. The versatile veteran has quite the interesting fantasy profile, as his abysmal .198/.301/.335 slash line is partly offset by the fact he's laced 13 of his 33 hits for extra bases (seven doubles, two triples, four home runs) and also has 11 stolen bases in 14 attempts.

Impact The 27-year-old launched his fourth homer of 2021 in the sixth inning of Game 1 before striking out three times in Game 2. Though Phillips provides nice defense and speed off the bench, he has just three hits in his last 28 at-bats and is hitting .201 on the season.
