During the 2023 season, Evan Phillips has been reliable for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In September, however Phillips has struggled. So that begs the question:
Going into the postseason, should the Dodgers be worried about Phillips?
Dave Roberts doesn’t think so.
“I trust Evan. Evan’s gonna be just fine.”

Every baseball player has great periods and slumps. The Dodgers have a great bullpen, and if Phillips falters at all, the Dodgers have either Brusdar Graterol or Ryan Brasier who can close out a victory.
If the Dodger offense does its job and builds up four or more runs lead going into the ninth, the Dodgers don’t need a closer.
