Brett Phillips - Page 6 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Left off ALDS roster Phillips wasn't included on the Rays' ALDS roster, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Phillips had a late-season slump in 2021, as he went just 1-for-19 with a triple, three runs, two RBI, a walk and 10 strikeouts to close out the regular season. Jordan Luplow will serve as outfield depth during the ALDS against Boston.

Brett Phillips, 'basically a 12-year-old,' brings his joy back to baseball's playoffs He had one of the most memorable moments of last year's World Series, and he hasn't stopped laughing since.

OCTOBER 7, 2021 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Deep slump to close out season Phillips hit .053 (1-for-19) with a triple, two RBI, a walk, one hit by pitch and three runs over his last 11 regular-season games.

Impact The utility option logged six starts over that span but did next to nothing at the plate with the opportunities. The season-ending funk was somewhat emblematic of a 2021 campaign that often had an all-or-nothing quality to it for Phillips -- he generated a paltry .202 average and .297 on-base percentage yet mustered a solid .415 slugging percentage thanks to 25 of his 51 hits going for extra bases (nine doubles, three triples, 13 home runs). Despite the recent struggles, Adam Berry of MLB.com projects Phillips as a likely member of the team's ALDS roster.

Impact The Rays forced extra innings after trailing 4-1 in the ninth and Phillips walked it off with his 13th homer of the year. He's gone deep in two straight games and three of his last five. The 27-year-old outfielder is now slashing .214/.310/.436 with 24 extra-base hits and 42 RBI through 270 plate appearances this season.

Fills stat sheet in return Phillips (ankle) went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-7 extra-innings loss to Detroit.

Impact The 27-year-old was productive throughout the contest, his first since Aug. 29 after he spent two weeks on the injured list with a sprained ankle. Phillips is up to a .216/.316/.423 slash line with 11 homers, 14 steals, 37 RBI and 45 runs scored through 258 plate appearances. The outfielder isn't expected to see an everyday role now that he's healthy, but he can fill in across the outfield if necessary.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IL The Rays reinstated Phillips (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact A sprained ankle has sidelined Phillips since Aug. 30, but he's back to fill his role as a backup outfielder and pinch runner. He hit a modest .237 in 38 August at-bats, although he did manage four home runs and 11 RBI in his limited playing time.

Impact Phillips played in one rehab game for the rookie-level FCL Rays on Saturday, logging four at-bats as the designated hitter without setbacks.
