Notches first win Phillips (1-0) won Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits with one strikeout in 2.1 innings.

Impact Following opener Corey Knebel, Phillips got through two clean innings but permitted a run with one out in fourth before being removed with 2-1 lead. Los Angeles maintained that lead for the rest of the game, giving the 26-year-old his second career victory in 40 games across four seasons. He remains a nonfactor unless he's able to take on a larger role.

Officially added to 26-man roster Phillips was added to the Dodgers' 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact The Dodgers claimed Phillips off waivers from Tampa Bay on Monday, and now the right-hander will be active for Tuesday's matchup with Pittsburgh. Phillips made just one appearance with the Rays this season, allowing one one across three innings. He owns a career major-league ERA of 7.26, so it seems very unlikely that he'll pitch in any high-leverage innings going forward.

Claimed by Dodgers Phillips was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Phillips was designated for assignment by the Rays on Saturday after making his lone big-league appearance of the season the night before. In 57 career innings at the highest level, the 26-year-old has struggled to a 7.26 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP, thanks in part to his 14.3 percent walk rate. He's unlikely to see high-leverage opportunities with the Dodgers.

DFA'd after 2021 debut The Rays designated Phillips for assignment Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Having pitched three innings Friday in his season debut, the 26-year-old heads to the minors to make room for a fresh arm in Adam Conley. Given his success during the three-inning save, Phillips could certainly find himself back with the Rays in a long-relief role before the season ends.

Earns three-inning save Phillips allowed a run on three hits over three innings in Friday's win over the Twins, striking out two and picking up a save.

Impact Phillips was able to finish the final three innings of a 10-4 win in his season debut after he was promoted from Triple-A Durham on Thursday. The lone run he allowed came via Brent Rooker's solo shot in the seventh. The 26-year-old righty entered Friday's game with a career 7.50 ERA through 48 MLB appearances and he likely won't see too many save chances down the stretch.

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

Impact 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.

Done for season Phillips hit the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Phillips left Tuesday's game against Boston with the injury, which will wind up ending his season prematurely. Assuming the diagnosis never changes to anything worse than inflammation, he should have plenty of time to heal before spring training. He'll finish the year with a 5.02 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP in 14.1 innings of relief, with his 14.5 percent walk rate generally offsetting a 29.0 percent strikeout rate.

Leaves with elbow issue Phillips was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox with right elbow soreness, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact The 26-year-old didn't record an out in 17 pitches Tuesday, giving up three runs on two hits and two walks. Phillips battled elbow issues in the spring and early summer, but it's unclear if the current soreness is related. He'll be further evaluated Wednesday.

Optioned to alternate camp Phillips was optioned to the Orioles' alternate training site Saturday.

Impact Phillips owns an unremarkable 5.87 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in 7.2 innings of relief this season, with his 17.5 percent walk rate standing out as his primary problem. Dillon Tate (forearm) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will take his place in the bullpen.

Tagged with loss Thursday Phillips (1-1) was tagged with the loss Thursday against the Marlins after giving up two runs on two hits across one inning.

Impact Phillips entered the game ahead of the sixth inning and, while he was able to record the three outs, the wheels came off in the seventh -- he left the game with runners in the corners and no outs. Both runners would come around to score, tagging the 25-year-old right-hander with his first loss of the season. He has now allowed five earned runs in 4.2 innings across four appearances in 2020.

Earns win against Rays Phillips (1-0) tossed one scoreless inning Sunday as he earned the win against the Rays. He allowed no hits and no walks while striking out one.

Impact Phillips had allowed runs in each of his first two appearances this season, but he held the Rays scoreless Sunday and was rewarded with the first win of his career. However, the 25-year-old doesn't carry much fantasy upside as a middle reliever who usually struggles to limit run production.
