Tyler Phillips

Phillips was set to begin the 2020 season at the Double-A level, but he didn't pitch after the minor-league season was canceled and wasn't included in the Rangers' player pool. The 23-year-old has pitched well enough in the lower levels of the minors, but he had a lackluster 4.73 ERA and 74:20 K:BB over 93.1 innings with Double-A Frisco in 2019. The righty has a low-wattage fastball, and he hasn't located his pitches well enough to produce a stellar strikeout rate over his first five years in the minors. Despite his overall struggles at the Double-A level in 2019, his 3.90 xFIP was slightly better than his surface numbers, and he finished the year with a 2.95 ERA and 6-3 record over his final 10 starts. Phillips could make his big-league debut in 2021 and should contend for a back-end rotation spot for the Rangers during spring training but provides minimal fantasy value due to his subpar fastball velocity.
