Records 12th steal Phillips went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Phillips provided a pair of singles as the only Tampa Bay hitter with a multi-hit effort Sunday. He added a stolen base, his 12th in 15 attempts this season. The 27-year-old outfielder lifted his slash line to .213/.313/.362 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 32 runs scored across 203 plate appearances. He'll continue to serve mostly as a fourth outfielder to cover for when Kevin Kiermaier or Randy Arozarena need days off.

Pops fifth homer Phillips went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over Cleveland.

Impact Getting the start in right field and batting ninth, Phillips took J.C. Mejia deep in the third inning. The 27-year-old's defense and athleticism make him a solid fourth outfielder for the Rays, and he's provided some modest fantasy value in deep formats by slashing .205/.308/.357 with five homers, 11 steals, 20 RBI and 32 runs through 200 plate appearances on the season.

Rips three-bagger in win Phillips went 1-for-3 with a triple in a win over the Orioles on Wednesday.

Impact Phillips made good use of one of his occasional starts, producing his second three-bagger of the campaign. The versatile veteran has quite the interesting fantasy profile, as his abysmal .198/.301/.335 slash line is partly offset by the fact he's laced 13 of his 33 hits for extra bases (seven doubles, two triples, four home runs) and also has 11 stolen bases in 14 attempts.

Filling in for resting Kiermaier Phillips will start in center field and bat ninth Wednesday against the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact He'll start for only the second time in six second-half games while the lefty-hitting Kevin Kiermaier takes a seat with southpaw Keegan Akin on the hill for Baltimore. Dating back to the beginning of June, Phillips is slashing .141/.267/.250 in 64 at-bats.

Impact The 27-year-old launched his fourth homer of 2021 in the sixth inning of Game 1 before striking out three times in Game 2. Though Phillips provides nice defense and speed off the bench, he has just three hits in his last 28 at-bats and is hitting .201 on the season.

Swipes two bags Thursday Phillips, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and a run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday, now has a .331 on-base percentage and nine steals in his part-time role.

Impact The outfielder is only hitting .216 and carries a forgettable .652 OPS, so he's not on the radar in shallow mixed leagues. However, AL-only and very deep mixed formats are another matter, as Phillips' 14.0 percent walk rate, career-high nine swipes and 20 runs are affording him some value in those scenarios.

Phillips owns just a .212 average and .668 OPS, but he's laced nine of his 25 hits on the season for extra bases and has recorded seven steals on 10 attempts.
