Instead, right-handed pitcher Matt Sauer was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phillips had just been activated from the injured list on April 19, after missing 21 games with a right rotator cuff strain. The reliever has made seven appearances this season, with one save, striking out six and walking two, while not allowing any runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phillips’ injury adds to a series of health problems affecting the Dodgers’ pitching staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three Dodgers starters, Blake Snell (shoulder inflammation), Tyler Glasnow (shoulder inflammation), and Clayton Kershaw (recovering from toe and knee surgery), are on the injured list. In addition, two-way star Shohei Ohtani is still a few months away from returning to the mound, as he continues his recovery from 2023 elbow surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before Wednesday’s game in Miami, manager Dave Roberts said that Snell and Glasnow will begin pitching on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kershaw appears to be close to returning after throwing six no-hit innings in a rehab start on Tuesday. The 10-time All-Star is scheduled for another rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, which Roberts said could be his last before rejoining the Dodgers from the 60-day injured list. He is eligible to be activated on May 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
