The Dodgers have signed reliever Evan Phillips to a one-year, $6.5 million deal.

Phillips underwent Tommy John surgery after just seven scoreless appearances in 2025, meaning he will miss a portion of this season as well. The right-hander collected 42 saves from 2023-2024 and owns a 3.36 ERA across 250 career appearances, the last four of which have been with the Dodgers.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Evan Phillips will undergo Tommy John surgery.

Roberts said Phillips tried playing catch a couple days ago and it “didn’t go well.” He'll miss the rest of this season and likely a portion of next year as well.
