The Atlanta Braves signed right-hander Evan Phillips to a three-year, $35-million contract, the club announced Thursday.
Phillips will make $11 million in 2027 and 2028 and $13 million in 2029.
The 32-year-old authored a 3.46 ERA with 1.08 WHIP and 11.4 K/9 over 31 appearances this year for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He returned in July after recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Phillips has been one of baseball's top relievers since 2021, posting a 2.36 ERA with 254 strikeouts and 46 saves across 221 innings. Phillips won a World Series with L.A. in 2024 but was sidelined in 2025 for the club's second straight title.
The Braves are in need of bullpen help with All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias testing free agency. The team's relievers finished with the NL's second-lowest ERA in 2026.
