Evan Phillips News
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Evan Phillips earned his second save of the season Friday, setting down all three batters he faced in a 2-1 victory over the Miami Marlins. Phillips has been a revelation all season, with a 1.31 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 56 strikeouts in 48 innings. Manager Dave Roberts has shown patience through closer Craig Kimbrel's struggles, but if a change were to be made, Phillips would be the primary candidate to be used in save situations, making him a strong speculative value in most formats.
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Evan Phillips closed out the team's 7-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday to earn his first save of the year. It was a come-from-behind victory for the Dodgers, who trailed 6-0 going into the seventh inning of the game. The team's primary closer Craig Kimbrel pitched in the eighth inning while the team was still trailing and he wound up earning the win for the game. Phillips has been one of the team's top relievers this year, compiling 11 holds and pitching to a 1.54 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP while maintaining a 5.0 K/BB ratio across 35 innings. Despite his success this year, he had failed to convert his previous two save opportunities before this one.
Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain. This move is retroactive to June 17, so Means could be back as early as next weekend. The 26-year-old has been excellent so far this season, pitching to the tune of a 2.67 ERA through 16 appearances, 12 of which were starts. There is a reason to be cautious, though, as Means currently holds a 5.07 xFIP, but his production so far definitely makes him worth the hold in mixed leagues, at least until his luck runs out. Evan Phillips was called up from Triple-A but will be a risky fantasy option, at best, if he gets to start.

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Evan Phillips was downright nasty last year in his first full season with the team, pitching to a career-best 1.14 ERA (1.94 FIP), 0.76 WHIP, two saves, 19 holds, 15 walks and a career-high 77 strikeouts in 63 relief innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will no doubt be back to a high-leverage role in LA's bullpen in 2023, but it remains to be seen how many save chances he'll get in a closer committee that's also expected to include Daniel Hudson, Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol. Phillips is worth speculating on for saves late in drafts, and either way he should be useful in holds formats. However, it will probably be difficult to replicate the full dominance he had in 2022 after never coming anywhere close to those numbers in his previous four MLB seasons.
