The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstate right-handed reliever Evan Phillips on Monday, marking his return 13 months after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Phillips, 31, had been on the injured list, and the team activates him after a rehabilitation stint that included time with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Over his last month with the Comets, he pitches 12 games, posting a 1.80 ERA with 13 strikeouts and five walks in 10 innings. Ahead of the Dodgers’ opening game of a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies, Phillips speaks about readiness, saying his primary pitching mix feels sharp. The activation indicates the Dodgers are adding him back to the bullpen rotation after his recovery from reconstructive elbow surgery. No additional roster changes are reported in the provided accounts. Phillips’ performance at the minor-league level is cited as a key step in his return to Major League Baseball.
