Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips to undergo Tommy John surgery and miss rest of the season
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips will have Tommy John surgery next week and miss the rest of the season in the latest blow to the World Series champion's pitching staff.
The 30-year-old right-hander had been out the last three weeks because of forearm discomfort. He didn't progress in his recovery despite what had been anticipated to be a short stint on the injured list.
Phillips began the season on the IL while recovering from a partially torn rotator cuff he sustained in the playoffs last year.
He returned in late April and made seven scoreless appearances before getting hurt during the Dodgers' trip to Miami earlier in May.
The Dodgers' staff has been riddled by injuries this season.
Phillips was 5-1 with a 3.62 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings last season. He is 15-9 with a 2.28 ERA in 194 games since coming to the Dodgers five years ago.
He previously played for Atlanta, Baltimore and Tampa Bay.

Australia's two-time World Cup champion Glenn Maxwell retires from one-day international cricket
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Two-time World Cup champion Glenn Maxwell is retiring from one-day international cricket in a bid to play a role in Australia's push for a Twenty20 world title next year. Cricket Australia confirmed Maxwell's decision Monday. The 36-year-old Maxwell played 149 ODIs for Australia in an enduring career that is memorable for his unbeaten double-century in the 2023 World Cup, his unconventional shot-making and his brilliant fielding. Maxwell said the physical toll of the ODI game, which can take up to eight hours and be played on short turnarounds, was beginning to impact on his fielding ability and he didn't think he'd make it to the 2027 World Cup. 'I always said I wasn't going to hand my position over if I felt like I was still good enough to play. I didn't want to just hold on for a couple of series and almost play for selfish reasons," Maxwell said. The Australian selectors 'are moving in such a clear direction,' he said, so the retirement confirmation "gives them the best look at what the lineup is leading into that next World Cup. I know how important that planning is.' Australia's selection chairman George Bailey said Maxwell was one of the one-day game's most dynamic players and played a key role in two ODI World Cup titles. The shorter T20 format is still a good vehicle for Maxwell's rare talents. 'His level of natural talent and skill is remarkable. His energy in the field, under-rated ability with the ball and longevity has been superb," Bailey said. "What else stands out is his passion for and commitment to playing for Australia. ___
