Phillips threw a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays. He did not record a walk or strikeout.
With Calvin Faucher unavailable after tossing two innings Saturday, Phillips was summoned for his second save opportunity of the season and shut the door on just six pitches. He now owns five holds and two saves this season along with a 3.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB across 63.1 innings.

Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Earns four-inning save
Rotowire
Phillips earned the save in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with four strikeouts over four innings.
Phillips took over for Janson Junk in the sixth inning and finished the game, earning his first career save in the process. It was the 27-year-old's longest outing of the season, and his resume now interestingly includes both a save and complete-game shutout, the latter of which he recorded with the Phillies last year. He's been steady in relief for the Marlins this season, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB across 53.1 innings.
Phillips (1-0) was credited with the win Friday, striking out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning against the Marlins.
Starter Edward Cabrera lasted only three innings and left the mound with Miami ahead 6-2, and the official scorer gave the win to Phillips after he recorded the first two outs in the fourth. The 27-year-old has worked in a low-leverage role all season, posting a 4.59 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB through 33.1 innings over 23 appearances with zero saves or holds.

Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Strong outing in long relief
Rotowire
Phillips tossed three scoreless innings in Friday's loss to the Pirates, giving up three hits and a walk and striking out one.
Making his Marlins debut, the 27-year-old righty took over from Connor Gillispie in the sixth inning and kept the Bucs at bay over an efficient 23 pitches (15 strikes). Seven of Phillips' eight appearances last year with Philadelphia were starts, and he could be needed for swingman duties in Miami as the team deals with a rash of rotation injuries. While he had some initial success with the Phillies last season, including a four-hit shutout of the Guardians on July 27, he got tagged for 23 earned runs over only 11.2 innings from Aug. 1 on and will be a risky fantasy option if he is eventually needed in the Marlins' rotation.

Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Heading to Miami
Rotowire
The Marlins acquired Phillips from the Phillies on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Phillips doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so he will report to the big club and will be part of the Marlins' Opening Day roster. While Phillips may work out of the Miami bullpen initially, he'll likely be in the mix for starts at some point, given that the team's rotation depth has already been tested by spring injuries to Ryan Weathers (forearm) and Edward Cabrera (finger). Over eight appearances (seven starts) for the Phillies in 2024, Phillips submitted a 6.87 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB.

Phillies' Tyler Phillips: DFA'd by Philly
Rotowire
The Phillies designated Phillips for assignment Sunday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander allowed nine runs with a 14:7 K:BB over 10.2 innings during spring training, so Philadelphia elected to DFA him in favor of waiver-claim Carlos Hernandez. Phillips threw a complete game shutout last year but overall struggled in the majors, finishing the regular season with a 6.87 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over 36.2 frames.
Phillies' Tyler Phillips: Demoted after disastrous start
Rotowire
The Phillies optioned Phillips to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
Phillips' return to the Phillies' rotation will come to an end after just one start, with the right-hander heading back to the minors after he recorded just two outs while allowing six earned runs on eight hits in Tuesday's 10-9 win over the Blue Jays. The Phillies called up right-hander Nick Nelson from Triple-A to replace Phillips on the active roster and provide the bullpen with a fresh arm in the short term. The team will need to settle on a new fifth starter Sunday in Miami, with Taijuan Walker and Kolby Allard perhaps representing the top candidates to fill the spot vacated by Phillips.
