Dodgers bring back Evan Phillips on a $6.5M deal as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery | Sports

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed reliever Evan Phillips to a $6.5 million, one-year deal on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old right-hander was limited to seven appearances last year before having Tommy John surgery in late May. The Dodgers didn’t initially tender Phillips a contract for this season because he was still rehabbing from surgery, which made him a free agent.
