2026 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips was sidelined at the onset of 2025 due to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in his neck. The 24-year-old received Botox injections for about a month without getting much better, but he informed the Reds' front office and coaching staff that he could throw 20-to-25 pitches at a time with success. Soon after, he began the conversion from starting to a relief role. Phillips had a lot of moving parts with his mechanics, so he lowered his glove-side arm in order to better repeat his delivery. This adjustment produced much better results at the Triple-A level, so the right-hander was recalled to the majors last August. Not only did he add velocity - he tossed his fastball 98.3 mph on average - he produced elite whiff and strikeout rates thanks to a devastating sweeper (.053 BA, .158 SLG, 53.2 percent whiff). Phillip's role in the Reds' bullpen could be elevated in 2026, but inconsistent command and a risk of re-injury are notable red flags within his profile. Read Past Outlooks
