Fantasy Impact:

Phillips has been easing back from a right shoulder injury this spring, but a solid bullpen session has Roberts optimistic—still, an IL stint to open the season looms. He’s likely settling into middle relief in a stacked Dodgers pen, not closing. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can stash him for holds potential; his absence should be short-lived.
