Dodgers re-sign injured former top prospect after unceremonious non-tender

The Dodgers non-tendered pitchers Nick Frasso and Evan Phillips at the Nov. 21 deadline, letting go of a former top prospect and a prized LA reclamation project.

Frasso has been frequently injured throughout his young career. He underwent a labrum surgery and a procedure on his right hip in 2023 and 2024, which kept him sidelined for all of 2024. He returned to the Triple-A mound in 2025 but struggled over 77 innings (5.49 ERA) before closing out the season on the 60-day IL again, this time with an undisclosed injury.

The Dodgers have kept the door open to re-signing Phillips, who underwent Tommy John this year.
