Dodgers closer Evan Phillips put on 15-day injured list

The return of Dodgers veteran setup man Blake Treinen on Sunday was dampened by the loss of closer Evan Phillips, who has a right hamstring strain.

The return of veteran setup man Blake Treinen on Sunday was dampened by the loss of an even more important Dodgers reliever as closer Evan Phillips was placed on the 15-day injured list because of a right hamstring strain before the series finale against the Atlanta Braves. Manager Dave Roberts said Phillips, who converted all eight of his save opportunities and had an 0.66 ERA in his first 14 games, caught a spike in the turf while playing catch before Saturday night’s game.

” Right-handers Joe Kelly, Daniel Hudson and Treinen and left-hander Alex Vesia will be candidates to pitch the ninth inning, but when asked who his closer will be in Phillips’ absence, Roberts said, “I honestly don’t even know. “We’ll see. I think it will be more of just managing the game and figuring out the leverage of the game and however the ninth inning falls out. We’ll just sort of try to win every inning and just manage the leverage.
