ANALYSIS
Phillips' placement on the injured list Wednesday had been attributed to forearm discomfort, but follow-up testing has revealed a clearer diagnosis of his injury. Given that the Dodgers are shutting him down from throwing for at least two weeks, Phillips seems to be headed for another extended stay on the IL after being sidelined for the first month of the season due to an injured shoulder. A clearer target date for the 30-year-old's return may emerge once he's cleared to begin throwing.
