2023 Fantasy Outlook
Phillips is one of the game's great personalities and a defensive wiz in center field, but his inability to make contact has meant his bat lagging well behind. He struck out at a 41.8 percent clip last season with the Rays and Orioles, which, sadly, isn't that far off from his career 37.8 percent strikeout rate. The Angels liked Phillips' defensive prowess enough to give him a major-league deal over the offseason and he could get some run if the injury bug hits Mike Trout again. Read Past Outlooks

Elects free agency
Phillips elected free agency Monday.
ANALYSIS
Phillips was removed from the Angels' 40-man roster and has exercised his right to elect free agency rather than accept an outright assignment. The veteran outfielder has collected a career .619 OPS over parts of seven big-league seasons.

Phillips gained national notoriety with his game-winning hit in the 2020 World Series and has enjoyed both local and national popularity with his humble and entertaining personality. Unfortunately, those are not fantasy scoring categories. Phillips was somewhat productive as a bench player with 13 homers, 50 runs scored and 14 steals in fewer than 300 plate appearances, but was limited to that amount of playing time because of the limitations in his swing. He has a very specific swing path that struggles mightily against lefties as well as elevated pitches, so he is best utilized against the softer-tossing righties and always down in the lineup. Even if the Rays do trade Kevin Kiermaier, extra playing time for Phillips would simply overexpose him. He is a career .202 hitter over parts of five seasons and nearly 700 career PA.
