The Atlanta Braves signed reliever Evan Phillips on Thursday, bringing him back on a three-year, $35 million contract. MLB.com reported that Phillips will earn $11 million in each of the first two seasons and $13 million in 2029.

Phillips posted a 3.46 ERA in 26 innings across 31 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers this year. He missed the first half of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery in May 2025.

Phillips made his major league debut for Atlanta in 2018 and went to Baltimore in the trade that brought Kevin Gausman to the Braves. Atlanta adds him to a bullpen with former closer Raisel Iglesias still a free agent.
