As injury replacements are starting to be named for next week’s All-Star Game, manager Dave Roberts is trying his best to get one of his relief pitchers in the game.
The most consistent pitcher to come out of the bullpen for the Dodgers this season has been Evan Phillips. Whenever the Dodgers have needed to put an end to an offensive threat, Phillips has been Roberts’ favorite reliever to go to.
Despite being ninth in the National League in saves, Roberts told the Orange County Register that the usage of Phillips in important situations should be evidence to send him to Seattle.
