The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-handed relief pitcher Evan Phillips from the injured list ahead of Monday’s game.
In a corresponding move, the Dodgers are optioning right-handed reliever Paul Gervase.
“We’ve all been waiting and took our time,” manager Dave Roberts said pregame, as reported by Dodgers Nation’s Noel Sanchez. “Looking forward to getting him back, I know he’s thrilled.”
The Dodgers non-tendered Phillips in the offseason, though he returned on a one-year, $6.5 million deal just before the beginning of spring training. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery last year, and hasn’t pitched in MLB since.
Prior to his injury last season, Phillips made seven appearances for the Dodgers and held his opponents scoreless through 5.2 innings.
