Dodgers welcome back right-hander Evan Phillips 13 months after Tommy John surgery‎

Reliever Evan Phillips was reinstated off the injured list Monday, returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers 13 months after having Tommy John surgery. The 31-year-old right-hander spent the last month at Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he had a 1.80 ERA with 13 strikeouts and five walks in 10 innings over 12 games for the Comets. “My primary mix is very sharp and ready to roll,” he said before the Dodgers opened a three-game set with the Colorado Rockies.
