The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-handed reliever Evan Phillips on the 15-day injured list on Sunday because of a right hamstring strain and activated right-hander Blake Treinen from the IL.
The Phillips move was retroactive to Saturday.
Phillips, 29, last played Friday in the Dodgers' 4-3 win over the Atlanta Braves in extra innings, recording one strikeout in one scoreless inning. This season, he is 8-for-8 in save opportunities with a 0.66 ERA, 17 strikeouts and four walks in 13⅔ innings over 14 relief appearances.
For his career, Phillips is 11-11 with 35 saves, a 3.20 ERA, 239 strikeouts and 77 walks in 205⅓ innings over 196 games (one start). A 17th-round selection by Atlanta in the 2015 MLB draft, Phillips has played for the Braves (2018), Baltimore Orioles (2018-2020), Tampa Bay Rays (2021) and Dodgers (2021-present).
Treinen, 35, was sidelined most of most of 2022 and all of 2023 due to shoulder injuries. He was expected to start this season with the Dodgers but was hit by a line drive in spring training in March and suffered a bruised lung and broken ribs.
In 2021, his most recent full season, Treinen was 6-5 with a 1.99 ERA and seven saves in 72 games.
He made five rehabilitation appearances this season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing five earned runs in 4⅓ innings.
He is 36-31 with a 2.86 ERA, 504 strikeouts and 193 walks in 503 innings over 449 career games (seven starts) with the Washington Nationals (2014-2017), Oakland Athletics (2017-2019) and Dodgers (2020-2022). He was selected to the American League All-Star team while with Oakland in 2018.
