Phillips suffered hamstring strain, not expected to be serious, when he “caught a spike” following a pregame workout.
Dodgers relief pitcher Evan Phillips gestures after the team’s win against the San Francisco Giants, Tuesday, April 2, 2024, in Los Angeles. Phillips was placed on the injured list Sunday. LOS ANGELES – There’s never a dull moment for the Dodgers’ bullpen, from early-season struggles and injuries, all the way to its recent success. Then a day like Sunday comes along when all of the feelings were encompassed in a single moment.
“Putting him on the IL, we just feel that it shouldn’t be long and the hope is that once his stint is up, he will be back and ready to go,” Roberts said. “It was just really freak and random like how Brasier had a really benign incident when he was running sprints and blows out the calf.” A veteran of nine seasons, Treinen finally looked to be past the shoulder issues that plagued him for the past two seasons but was hit by a line drive at spring training that broke two ribs and bruised his lung.
“It’s certainly unfortunate and a little disconcerting,” Roberts said of all the bullpen injuries. “You’re certainly frustrated for the players. As far as for us, it’s kind of the next man up and it gives opportunity for someone else, obviously. Blake was going to be back anyway so this keeps another player around for an opportunity.”Max Muncy was not in the starting lineup against Braves left-hander Max Fried, one day after hitting three home runs in a game for the first time in his career.
