Evan Phillips has rejoined the Atlanta Braves.
The team announced a three-year, $35 million deal for the righty reliever on Thursday.
Phillips, 32, spent the last five-plus seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers with whom he won a World Series in 2024. He appeared in 31 games in 2026, going 3-2 with a 3.46 earned run average and 1.077 WHIP over 26.0 innings pitched. He struck out 33 batters and walked six.
A native of Salisbury, MD, Phillips was drafted by the Braves in 2015 and made his big-league debut in 2018. He was dealt to the Baltimore Orioles that summer in a deal that sent Kevin Gausman and Darren O’Day to the Braves.
A product of UNC, Phillips has also spent time with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Over nine big league seasons with the Dodgers, Rays, O’s and Braves, Phillips is 19-14 with a 3.37 ERA and 1.126 WHIP over 278.0 IP in 281 appearances.
Phillips becomes the second free-agent reliever to find a new team this week.
Emilio Pagan signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal with the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.
