2025 Fantasy Outlook
At the beginning of the year, it appeared Phillips would run away with primary closing duties for Los Angeles, as he held a 70 percent team save share through the end of April. However, a hamstring strain sidelined the right-hander for nearly one month and he struggled upon his return, carrying a 6.75 ERA and 1.55 WHIP from June 1 through the end of July. This prompted a change in the Dodgers' high-leverage approach, relegating Phillips to working earlier in games. He'd tally only three saves over the final two months of the campaign, finishing with 18 overall. The 30-year-old turned in his worst regular-season line since joining the Dodgers in 2021 - his 3.62 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 54.2 innings wasn't awful, but fell well short of expectations based on prior outputs. Phillips figures to continue seeing regular high-leverage opportunities in 2025, but saves aren't likely to be consistent with the Dodgers adding Tanner Scott this winter. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Phillips has been on the injured list since early May due to inflammation in his elbow. He attempted to play catch following a two-week shutdown but didn't respond well, and the 30-year-old righty will now go under the knife to address the issue. The procedure will put an early end to his 2025 campaign after 5.2 shutout innings, and he's likely to miss the vast majority of 2026 as well.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Phillips was outstanding for the second year in a row, converting a career-high 24 saves while once again leading qualified relievers with a 0.83 WHIP. The 29-year-old only accounted for 54.5% of the Dodgers' 44 saves, but he was clearly their top reliever, earning save opportunities early in the season. While he did go long stretches without recording a save, Phillips was still valuable for fantasy purposes. He boosted ratios while striking out batters at a respectable 28.2% clip. His Statcast page is painted red, with a 115.1 mph (Max EV) rocket off the bat of Byron Buxton the only real blemish. Meanwhile, his 88.2 mph average exit velocity was still above-average (67th percentile). Phillips is establishing himself as one of the top high-leverage relievers in the game. If you could guarantee 30-plus saves, he'd likely be a top 5 closer, but since the Dodgers aren't exclusive with his usage in the 9th inning, he'll settle in the 10-15 range for 2024 drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Part of closer committee?
Phillips could be a part of a closer committee for the Dodgers next year, opines Juan Toribio of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Phillips broke out in 2022 and produced a dominant season, posting a 1.14 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB in 63 innings. While he recorded two saves, he was primarily used in a setup role. The 28-year-old was equally effective against both righties and lefties and could take on a significant share of the responsibilities if he performs at a similar level next year.
