Dodgers place RHP Evan Phillips (hamstring) on IL, activate RHP Blake Treinin
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

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 13 2/3 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 205 1/3 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 (2018-20), 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 4 1/3 innings.

He is a career 36-31 with a 2.86 ERA, 504 strikeouts and 193 walks in 503 innings over 449 games (seven starts) with the Washington Nationals (2014-17), Oakland Athletics (2017-19) and Dodgers (2020-22). He was selected to the American League All-Star team while with Oakland in 2018.
