Dodgers Activate Evan Phillips From 60‑Day Injured List

The move adds immediate bullpen depth as Edwin Díaz progresses in rehab with a target to return after the All‑Star break.

Overview

  • The Dodgers reinstated right‑hander Evan Phillips to the major‑league roster on Monday, opening an active roster spot for the veteran reliever.
  • To clear room for Phillips the club optioned Paul Gervase to Triple‑A, released lefty Jake Eder from the 40‑man roster, added Carlos Durán to the 40‑man, and designated Chuckie Robinson for assignment.
  • Phillips returned after a monthlong Triple‑A rehab in Oklahoma City where he threw 10 innings across 12 appearances with a 1.80 ERA, 13 strikeouts and five walks while regaining pre‑injury velocity.
  • Edwin Díaz has begun live throwing and is set to start rehab assignments with a planned timeline to rejoin the Dodgers shortly after the All‑Star break, leaving Tanner Scott in the closer role for now.
  • Manager Dave Roberts called Tommy Edman’s recent lineup scratch precautionary and confirmed the club is supporting catching prospect Eliezer Alfonzo through a family tragedy as roster and health moves continue to unfold.
